What are?They're all practically the same.
What are?
See thread title.
I don't notice any significant difference between any of the 35mm slrs I have - Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus, Contax, Yashica, whatever ones I've forgotten about.
Ah right, sorry I wasn't paying attention was I! I have to agree with you though. By and large they're all just lightproof boxes to contain the film and expose it. Sometimes they'll have higher shutter speeds or different metering but most of it is down to the glass isn't it.
Then again, some just feel so much nicer than others don't they
Don and I agree!!!!
I think I am seeing a slightly richer color rendition using my Konica Hexanon lenses compared to my Pentax K-mount lenses (M-series). And my Konica lenses are at least as sharp as my Pentax lenses (maybe a tiny bit more?). l Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a Konica AR body which I like as much as my Pentax bodies (MX and KX). If I was still shooting slide film, it would go in the Konica T4. But for b&w, *if* the Konica lenses offer any advantage, it is not enough to bother with. My Pentax lenses are plenty good enough for the kind of photography I do.
Leicaflex SL2 with Leitz lenses, but for a smaller package SLR a Nikon F or F2 with plain prism. Bought Leicaflex and Nikon F new way back when. If I were buying today, my choice would probably be a Pentax Spotmatic.
It just feels natural to focus a lens manually. I’m just not old enough for autofocus.
Yes. It's like they don't realize people were taking photos for 100 years before autofocus was invented.It makes me laugh when you hear the younger generation talking about how they couldn't possibly cope without autofocus....
I think you might be confusing the Autoreflex T4 with the T3(?) The T3 body weighs 740 g while the T4 body is 530g. I have owned both, and I think your description as a "nail basher" fits the T3 much better than the T4.The T4 is a lump on a par with the early Nikkormats, great for bashing nails in...a comparable but much better bet is the Konica Autoreflex TC. It's much smaller and more manageable... Similar kind of size to a Nikon FE or an Olympus OM1/2. It's a very underrated camera and therefore available cheaply. Typically the only thing to watch out for is that the leather covering sometimes shrinks and looks a little bit unsightly but honestly you should be able to find a minter out there without any trouble. What Hexanon glass have you got? Sorry I'm a bit of an addict
can I vote for a 5x7 Graflex?
