I can confirm this. Decent small Film cameras are getting expensive.

I think its a good Idea. Perhaps they should Go all the way and build a model with splitscreen and without af. Then they could start producing Manual focus lenses again. Starting with mirrorless...

Actually i Like silver options for cameras and lenses. The black versions Look very serious. The silver versions are more joyful.

they look flat because he used a rondinal developer for a flat crystal film. that doesnt look good in my opinion. rodinal works best with the tradidional film emulsions

this is a flat crystal film and he used blazinal (=rodinal) for developing, thats why the pictures look so flat. i like rodinal very much and use it almost always, but rodinal doesnt do so well...

thank you for the nice link.
when you get an enlarger make sure it has all the parts (lens, negativ holder, etc.) and a possibility for inserting filters to use with the variable contrast papers.

i am currently thinking of getting one of these, because i want a truly mechanical slr from nikon. but i am not sure yet if i should take this one, the F2 or an FM. i guess i will take the FM. But...

i like to use this kind of cameras very much. this simple electronic compact film cameras give very good value.

Thank you very much for this interesting article.

But to be honest i think for a starter it is still to complicated.

When i started with film developing on my own, it was very confusing, because...

Unfortunatley, future generations in the year 2120 wont get such a look back. I cannot imagine someone could pull pictures from a 100 year old sd-card encoded in a long forgotten RAW Format.

Thank you please Bring more topics that we can recreate at home. Street photography is difficult right now.

Rodinal is best with traditional grain Films. Tri x and plus x are both flat Crystal Films. They need a Developer Like d-76. You can use rodinal but the results May Not be the best.

Doesnt matter AS long AS you use Film!

Very interesting, thank you!

Thank you, great Link!

F4 is way to heavy. I have one, but i never User it. I prefer the f90x or even the f60. It IS much lighter.

Canon ftb ql Awesome!

I think it will Take a few years until new 35mm cameras are developed. But it will Happen. Some might be oldscool Designs, others may be stuffed with latest technologies. These will propably Work...
