I just recently got back into photography, I took some courses all through highschool using a K1000. When I graduated I bought a Digital Rebel and used it for a couple months but it just wasnt that great to me. I guess there is just something about using film and going into a dark room and reveiling your work, its like opening a present or something. Also I am a super hater of photoshopping the hell out of your digital photo, that airbrush look is just so terrible. Anyway I sold the rebel bought another k1000 a 50 and a 28mm lens and a flash. I am loving it again and this site is just making it even better. Thanks. I am looking to get into vintage cameras more aswell, but I dont have a darkroom so I guess I am kind of limited to 35mm film and a local photolab. Got any favorite vintage 35's?
This site was a wonderful find.

The first camera I bought way way way back was an Exacta 500. Cool camera, no meter as I recall. I had a hot shoe meter. Bought it new and used it a lot. Oh the good old days. You know 35mm film used to come in metal cans with metal lids. 35mm enlarging equipment and darkroom equipment is really inexpensive these days.

Hi there from north coast BC 
I lug my 4x5 for 'serious' stuff, but I've been using a K1000 for family snap shots. Mines been without a battery for about three years, but who cares? I just slap on a flash indoors, and fly by the seat of my pants (f16 rule) outdoors. Try that with a delicate, modern camera

Favorite vintage 35mm? That must be the Welta Welti! A small, folding 35mm camera with a 50mm f:3.5 Tessar on it. Guess focussing and guess exposure too.
Oh - the old FSU rangefinder "Leica clones" can be pretty good too!

Favourite 35mm? Rollei 35. Most useful? Nikon F80 with 28-105mm Nikkor.
(Careful with the Rolleis though; they're addictive! )

Welcome from Florida.
Favorite 35mm? Right now I'm having fun with a Canon/Bell&Howell Canonet 19, bought at at thrift store for less than two dollars. Then there's always the Nikon F.

Greetings from a fellow Canuck. My favourite 35 is a toss up between a K1000, MEsuper and a Kodak Retina 3c. Then there's the sp1000, and the mamiya sekor 1000dtl, and the ricoh (all screw mounts). The fed 5, retina 1b and 2a are a lot of fun too. I guess they are all my favourites.
How vintage?
Leica IIIa (bought 1970 or so)
Nikon F (since the early 70s)
Leica M (since '73)
Cheers,
R.
