    I’ve been travelling the last few weeks with nothing but the 40mm pancake and a 50mm f1.4 paired with the 300v. This is honestly the perfect travel camera. It’s light weight, doesn’t get in the way. I only use a wrist strap as it grips well in the hand. It’s the ultimate hybrid of a point and shoot and powerful SLR. It’s just a shame it didn’t come in black.

    I managed to snag the Eos3 in perfect condition a few years ago and it's my second favourite camera after the M6 if not on pair with. My lenses are 20-30f2.8, 70-200f4 and 40mm f2.8(perfect point and shoot). I definitely recommend getting an Eos camera, even a cheaper one for a beginner.

      EOS 3 is one of the best Canon film cameras. I love it so much, my shoots never went wrong. I bought it for $90 two years ago in super pristine condition with box an manual.

    • @aperturecollect
      @aperturecollect 3 месяца назад

      The EOS 3 is heavier than the Rebel line, more of a pro model and usually about triple the price if not more. I have several Elan models that are between these and I like them also, but the Rebels are so light.

    The eos line of cameras offeres a extra feature:
    You can mount just about any lens from the other camera manufacturer thanks to its flange distance via an adapter, i will happily mount a manual focus nikon f, m42 lenses and more by getting the correct adapter.
    My go-to lens on my canon 1v is a adapted nikkor 105mm 2.5 pre ai, it brings out the curiosity of the other photographers when i go to photowalks.

    90% of the cameras I used over my life have been EOS. My parents got my first "real" camera when I was teenager in the early 80s. I dropped one of the first EOS digital cameras and damaged the lens mount, I sent it to Canon and they repaired it free even though I was happy to pay.

    Since many years I use a EOS1V with the 40mm pancake lens and as many others comments mention, this camera is the perfect tool that never gets on your way, so easy to use and with great ergonomics. This camera (like many other EOS) was designed by Luigi Colani and it really feels right with all the buttons/switches at the right place, very intuitive and effortless camera.

    I've been shooting with an EOS 3 since 2006. Simply an amazing camera. The eye-controlled auto-focus works perfectly for me. I shoot slides almost exclusively, and can say this is the only camera I've ever used that virtually guarantees 36 correctly exposed images on each roll. Downsides are minimal: 1) The clunky mode buttons that replace the traditional mode knob (what were they thinking?) and 2) the camera automatically rewinds the film after 36 exposures, so no bonus frames for you!

This thing also fell down and broke but back then, I lived not to far from the Minolta Service Centre Central Europe. I drove there, payed 15€ I think and they replaced the door, lens cap and the little door for the battery. They still had parts well until the late 2010s and only closed just recently…

    I have gotten back into 35mm film recently after shooting 120 for the last five years. I picked up an EOS 1N and have been loving it. It gets out of the way and lets me do what I need it to do. I have added some more recent EF mount L glass. I have found lenses that were designed to resolve larger MP digital cameras work very well with film. Everything I have shot has been very sharp with great contrast. I am excited to keep shooting with 35mm and exploring. It is fast to shoot and lets me get what I need. I can trust the meter and the autofocus. I can’t recommend one enough.

If I want some more perfomance (faster AF, more flash power) or use bigger lenses like zooms, I have a 30V/7s which is really fantastic even larger and heavier.

    I don't shoot EOS, but I actually love my Pentax PZ-20, which is an autofocus SLR from 1993. Surprisingly compact, great grip, and it's just reliable. The focus and exposure get work done. The electronic film winding can be loud, and the LCDs are dim, but I can put up with that. It just takes good pictures. It's not going to be an heirloom of my house like my Rolleiflex, but I don't need another heirloom--I need a good picture, and the Pentax gets it done. These autofocus film SLRs are the underrated gems of the film photography world.
    I really hope the Pentax film project eventually releases a new autofocus film SLR, ideally with the option to shoot full or half frame, for all the sweet DA Limited lenses.

    Here in the UK they weren't called Elan or Rebel etc, but one of my first experiences of autofocus was with the EOS10 which I borrowed from a friend. It was a revelation after only using manual focus cameras. That said, I later bought the EOS5 which was utter garbage and I couldn't rid myself of it quick enough. Swapped it for an Olympus OM2n which I still have and use to this day.

    Rebel 2000 aka EOS 300 is such a sleeper hit. Late in the release cycle, it has very few problems and is my recommendation OVER a point and shoot compact. Not much bigger with the excellent 40mm 2.8 it's so much more powerful and still has a pop up flash. The EOS 600 and that era camera can have a deal breaker of an issue. Shiny spots on the shutter is an oily sealant that liquidises onto the blades causing half a frame to be exposed only ruining the shot. Best avoided IMO. 300 or 5 are the affordable and safe routes to go (except the 5 has a glass cylinder in the mode that can be shattered if the button isn't held down).

I gave up and resorted to my only back-up, a 300v I’d got, not free, but for 15euros in a street sale. It saved the day. No more studio flash, only the pop-up on the camera . All perfect exposures, and of course, you can jump around with it . And just a kit zoom for a lens. Everyone should get one! Keep the great videos coming.
