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!
My first film camera was a Canon Rebel K2, bought brand new way back in the day.
It's wonderful to hear about your journey into film photography, and I hope you have many great memories captured with your Canon Rebel K2.
That was 20 years ago. 😂 I use a Leica R6.2 now. @@chriszueger
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!
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.
That's a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing this for an affordable entry into the world of rangefinder cameras!
Thank you ♥️
:-)
Try Zenit E or Zenit TTL camera, best camera of soviet union as it says in their instruction manual
Thank you for the suggestion!
I think you forgot to mention interchangeable lens rangefinder. Canon P/VL/VT are good starters...
Thanks! Great input. I'll keep that in mind when ihrs time for an update video.
imo the first analog camera should be the one you can find at your local broki
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
Great info, thanks for sharing.
