When we traveled to New Orleans this past fall, I brought my Canon AE-1 and a couple rolls of film to shoot alongside my DSLR. New Orleans is such a beautiful, old city. Shooting with film there felt really fitting. Also, the only lens I brought for the Canon AE-1 is the 50mm f/1.8, which is so perfect for the French Quarter. If you’ve been on the fence about getting a 50mm prime lens, for a digital or film camera, a trip to New Orleans is a great excuse to take the plunge.
Again, I shot this entire film set with a Canon AE-1 and FD 50mm f/1.8 on Portra 400. I use the FIND lab for my film scans and have been so happy with them.
