In anticipation of the upcoming skate trip to Athens (pm me with maps of spots!), I bought myself a new camera - Canon Eos Elan 7E and traded one of my dad's M42 lenses for a Zenitar 16mm fisheye. Money well spent/traded, I'm super happy. I was expecting exposure metering issues, but it seems like they're about the same as in my EOS300, which fortunately can be compensated. Next purchase - 50mm 1.8 STM lens.
All of the below were shot on Kodak ColorPlus 200, although I probably should've gone with something a tad faster. It was also my first time shooting with flash, and I can't say I'm bummed with the results.
These are a bit out of focus and overexposed respectively, but I like them regardless. Especially the last one, in spite of its flaws, reminds me of the skate pics from the 90s that I grew up seeing.
..just looked that up - one of those Canons that have the "Eye Control Focusing"?
Does that work (with AF lenses of course, not with the Zenitar : )??
Does that work with shooting moving subjects?
Apart from that 1/750 should be plenty fast enough to get a sharp shot..
