It was a surprise visit to the Nikon Centre at the Time Square Shopping Mall after a Photowalk at nearby Imbi Road, we came in with a group of 17 BBG members (FB group called themselves Bang Bang Gang, film lovers). They are using vintage film camera with various model of FM3A, FE2, FM, FM2n, FE2, N90s, F55, 28Ti, 35Ti, F55 ....
Mr Alex, Nikon Centre Manager, was shocked to see so many film cameras. He cited that Nikon Film Camera Group is very much alive. With spontaneous response, Mr Alex gave everyone a Nikon T-Shirt and a Nikon wrist band. We were impressed with his kindness, the gift was small but the thought was great.
Well, some of you may think he gave T-Shirt as he wanted to take a group photo of us for publicity.... Yeah! So be it, we don't mind letting him to take a group photo for his store profile ...

Some friends laughing at me as they knew I was a strong believer of Olympus Camera but they are joking I have switched camp ...
Well, for your information, I am just a simple guy who love photography .. for me, camera is just help to capture beautiful photograph, whether is Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Fijifilm etc ... it doesn't matter as long as it helps me capture beautiful shots.
There are quite a large collection of old film cameras. The cameras have arranged in a chronological order. I found the similar model of Nikon camera that my dad had passed to me. It was a FM model and born in 1977.
The photowalk was initiated by the BBG group of people, BBG stands for Bang Bang Geng, a FB group that promote the use of Film Camera. In the last TT, we were using the Olympus half frame EE camera, but this round, we were using the Nikon Film Cameras ...
Below is some photos that we have taken in the photowalk at Pudu, Imbi Road areas ...
We have found a nice abandon construction site near Imbi road. This place is full of graffiti. It has becoming famous shooting place for photo enthusiasts or even attracting wedding couple to come for their wedding shots.

Well, it was a fun day ...
Shooting Film is more challenging than to shot digital because it discourages us to shoot blindly, like what we used to do when we shoot with digital. Every shot is precious to us and we must make sure we frame correctly before we press the shutter button ...
If you have an old film camera, don't just throw it a side, get it fix and try to shoot again ...
Enjoy your Film Photography, if you own a film camera.
The end.
