A Captivating Journey Through Saigon's Lens! - I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a photowalk through the vibrant streets of Saigon, with Tu as my guide. Tu is a talented and knowledgeable guide who took me around local Saigon. I had the chance to meet and speak with local people while practicing my photography skills. This was my favourite part of my trip and I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in photography and experiencing a culture from the perspective of local people.

Unique way to see the city - Amazing! Was so fantastic to walk the streets of Saigon and learn how to use a medium format camera. Will definitely be an experience to boast about to my friends. Bui was a great teacher, making me feel confident with a camera I had never used before and has an amazing collection of cameras in his store. Would highly recommend this as a unique way to see Ho Chi Minh city.

Classic Photography - The camera is a relic, it's amazing how old it is but its simplicity is the charm. It still takes good pictures, and it teaches you how to be more thoughtful and reflective because you only have a few photos available from one roll.
