Analog film photography and cameras

You are confusing a discussion of the enabling technology with a product thereof. A good instrument empowers the user. Good tools don't make good art just as good musical instruments don't make good music. In the context of bicycles... its the rider and not the bicycle that wins the race.. Sure one bicycle can provide a little advantage over another but its.... same with cameras..

My god you're right, but..

Wish I had not brought up this discussion. *
Everybody go and shoot good pictures with what the fuck they like and post them.
Including me!
Meh, dropped my XA yesterday, plopped open midroll.
Only some frames lost, but film advance feels a bit crunchy now. I'll see.

• one last thing to clarify; I was asked what I meant by 'proper camera' (as opposed to Holga / Konstruktor / etc.) -
  think of "tools". There are roto hammers that look and feel like they brake the second time you're using them,
  and there are roto hammers that look and feel like you could put a whole village to pieces with.
  With 'proper' I meant "useful, versatile, high quality tool, that is a joy to use".
