3. The camera is a Nikkormat from the 70s.

My spouse has two, and since they weren't mine originally their names haven't stuck.

The lens is this one: https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/105mm-f4.htm

The prints are much better quality - completely spotted, so any white spots in black areas are a glint of reflection off of the print. All but one or two were printed using a split filter, which creates a depth I haven't been able to get using a single filter.

And the colors are not perfect. Someday, when I have a bit of time, I'll scan the negatives.
