I like these sections in the forum, each one dealing with a specific type of camera, as far as classic SLRS are concerned, here my favourites, all these cameras were very much used by my late father who was a very talented amateur photographer, then when my father passed away all this stuff remained closed in a cabinet and not used for around 15 years, I had the firm convinction not to be able to use these cameras and turned forward the easier digital photography. Just six month ago, I have decided to try and use these cameras , they have been tested, cleaned etc everithing looked perfectly in order, cameras like new.....and now I am prowdly using all of them and in addition to my father's cameras I have added something more, for example 5 folding cameras and the collection (and passion for classic cameras) is step by step growing....and this is also the reason I am here, in this forum.
There is a special fascination in these cameras, their are so beatifully made, their mechanic is perfect despite the years and it is challenging for a photographer be able to do something nice without all the electronics and computer facilities of our digital cameras. I wont to refuse completely Digital Photography, absolutely not, I am continuing to shot with digital with pleasure but the degree of satisfaction that a film camera can give....this is another story...well stop to ''too much words'' and let me introduce some of my SLRs
(ps in this photo there is also my LEICA IIIC that should be in the rangefinder section but...I love this camera so much that it is difficult for me not to use it in my shots)
