Just the video I needed, thank you! It's so overwhelming looking at everything that's on the market and trying to learn about it when starting out! I would also say : try asking your family for their older cameras. Turns out my grandfather had one he probably had in the 60s-70s to give me!
I'm glad to hear that the video was helpful for you! Starting out in photography can indeed feel overwhelming with all the options available. I'm thrilled you found the information useful. Your suggestion about asking family members for older cameras is excellent advice! Plus, inheriting a camera can add an extra layer of meaning to your photographic journey. Thank you for sharing your experience and suggestion. It's a great reminder that sometimes the best camera for us might be one that's been in the family for generations. If you have any more tips or questions, feel free to share!
Nice video.. My advice would be: Base the camera-choice mostly on the lens-system you want to buy into. Leitz-lenses are EXPENSIVE!, even the "cheap" ones. Canon, Minolta (Rokkor), Pentax (Takumar) and Olympus (Zuiko) are excellent lenses, and more common, therefore significantly cheaper in general..
Thank you for your positive feedback and valuable advice! You're absolutely right; the choice of camera system should consider the available lens options and their affordability. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Want the Leica experience without the price tag. Try the Zorki 4K, Rangefinder 35mm with a 50mm F2 lens, same lens fit as Leica screw thread. It does not have a built in light meter. You can find cheap hand held meters though. Or use the sunny 16 rule.
You're very welcome, and thank you for adding my channel! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the information helpful, and I look forward to connecting with fellow retro film photographers in the community. If you have any more questions or suggestions in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy shooting, and welcome to the channel! 📸😊
I totally get your point! Local thrift stores, flea markets, or even from individuals can be great sources for finding cameras. Thanks for sharing your perspective! If you have any specific recommendations or experiences with finding cameras locally, feel free to share them with us
