Me too.img943, with story

Description

It seems selfies go back further than I thought. 

I was 17, in 1967, playing with my, new to me, used camera.  I knew it was overbuilt, a bit large and excellent, capable of anything.  This is my only proof of how young I look and what the Zeiss Contarex looked like.  While a 35mm SLR, it would allow interchangeable film backs, like it's larger brother, the Hasselblad.  Scanning, I reversed the negative, Kodak Tri-X 135mm panchromatic, to appear true, taking the exposure with my right hand.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

Doing the mystery game again, finding something interesting in old negatives.

Very cool to see yourself as a youngin'! That sure does look like a hefty camera. So interchangeable film backs.. does that mean capable of medium format as well as 35mm?
