the best camera is the one you already have

I took some pictures of cows today.
Camera: R5 mark 2
Lens: RF 35mm 1.8 STM

Have a glass of milk on me. enjoy.

Critique is always welcomed

I found item for sale on ebay, looks like the common and crappy canon18-55mm lens but there is a strange aperture where the front element should be, it doesn't look like a diy thing but factory made. I have never seen something like that, anyone knows that this might be? at first I thought it could be a display model but the description says it closes when the image stabilization is turned on.. makes it even more weird.
I'd buy it out of curiosity but it is in Canada

Film photos from the last few months + some thoughts.

>be me
>start getting into film
>bought a fx3 and start shooting in the park to get the hang of everything, namely exposure.
>at the park today, two mexican guys park next to me and make conversation (I'm in the south, so its normal to make random convo, and I'm Mexican too)
>get a little nervous since it's hard to tell if cartel types or construction worker types
>conversation goes on and I get the feeling they are cool
>eventually they start suggesting me shoot a a video with the new car one of the guys bought
>i think to myself this could be pretty cool so I go with it and start shooting (my literal first shoot with talent if you will).
>as I'm shooting this, during some downtime some dumb bitch comes out of nowhere to ask if I can take pictures of her on her iPhone (i literally never take pictures on my iphone and still learning)
>take pictures, dumb bitch gets mad and tells me I need to auto focus on her face and makes a snide remark about how I'm the professional
>all of this is happening while I'm just trying to shoot some film

on one hand this is cool and actually fun but on the other hand it can be a lot of pressure. its good practice in my eyes to be able to do a quick exercise around filiming other people so I went with it. you have to literally think on the spot.

anyways just wanted to share cause it was kinda all over the place. the whole time i was with those mexican guys i was kinda nervous they were trying to steal my camera but they turned out to be chill.

Do any of yall know any other film cameras than the gen 3 Polaroid i have and possibly some tips for taking better pictures than these.

What film stock would allow me to get similar colors nowadays? This photo is from 1970s.

took a jumpship cruise a few months ago, went planetside in adaven to visit sal sagev. gonna dump some images. you may need to adjust your VCI since there were two stars, not to mention the radiation. pretty standard 3 "day" excursion, I won't bore you with too many things you've seen before hopefully.
