    love the colours, in both shots.. beautiful!

  • I basically learned analog SLR photography with an AE-1.
    No there's no major differences; the A1 is a bit tougher and heavier and capable of full auto mode.

    I'd get any of them you can get in a good condition for a reasonable price.
    That OM2 amey mentioned is a nice camera as well.
    If I were starting analog 35mm SLR today I'd definitely go for a Pentax ME, they're smaller, tougher, and have a lot of lenses I really like.

  • cheers for the advice, i'll keep an eye out for all three and try to see if i can get one for ~£60

    If I were starting analog 35mm SLR today I'd definitely go for a Pentax ME

    I already have a pentax ME fortunately, and its been great, just looking for something that allows me to pick both shutter speed and aperture.

  • ..Pentax ME Super?

  • Considering it, would you recommend the Super over any of the Canons?

  • Let's put it this way -
    As I said the AE-1 was my first SLR and I shot it for years. Some day it got damaged by water, and a friend gave me his ME. I instantly liked how it felt in the hand / shooting it, the fact it's so little, and the uber-smoothness of focussing the (Pentax-M) lenses.
    Many years later, and after shooting all sorts of cameras I bought another one, and shot it with the 50/1.7 and 28/3.5 and loved it; I then noticed that the lenses were rendering the images differently, quite "bitey".
    Nowadays things have changed again and I don't care so much about lens character, have seen an image the other day that I really liked and then read it was shot with an AE-1 with the standard 50mm - so there you have it.

    tl;dr - just shoot a system that feels good in your hands!

  • Nikon FE?
    they feel really nice in the hand too.

  • A mate gave me an old XA3 "which might work, but probably won't". I put a battery in and found an old roll of superia 200. Just a test roll, experimenting with different light situations etc. Not particularly interesting photographs, but the camera is technically brilliant! Really impressed with it- every frame was exposed perfectly, and I love the backlight compensation- such a useful feature. I think it's going to live permanently in pocket from now on.
    Excuse the dusty scans.

  • Love it, especially the first two.

  • Nice shots and the XA range never fail to deliver. Love my XA, always meters correctly!

  • So I have a lust for a Leica M7 and a Summicron 35 F2 lens, any pitfalls or things I should look out for and is it really as good an investment as I think it is in my head.

    Thanks in advance.

  • M6 because not electronically operated like M6. Zeiss 35 f/2 also good and roughly less than half price.

    Great cameras. Cant explain why. Just got a second M6.

  • an example of Zeiss at f/8, its sharp AF

  • love that picture with the chef, great contrast

  • I read about this, but apparently the 7 has AE which is really good if your going from dark to light or vice versa. Dont quote me on this read a thread where it was split and theres not much money between the more modern 7 and a 6?!

    Zeiss could be a good option as the 35 summcron is a grand or roughly.

  • Nice shot, mad colours, x-processed?

  • Options for buyin a neg scanner?
    What do you lot use?

  • Nice shot, mad colours, x-processed?

    Cheers!
    Yea, it's CT Precisa cross-processed and with some light leakage.
