Shooting Old Film Cameras - Canon A35F

I think a sign used to hand in front of it. The photos were taken on successive days. I know I shot the second photo because I could more clearly bring out the words on the glass. The A35F is a manual rangefinder with auto exposure. That means the camera chooses the shutter speed and aperture — very little control.

I can see the aperture in the viewfinder, but have no idea what the shutter speed is. This shot of my favorite pier on Lake Champlain was taken with e Canon A35F is a manual focus rangefinder. I was early evening after a glorious summer day, and the light was golden. The water is still high after this springs flooding, but the lake shore was returning to normal.

The camera has the lines of some of the first-generation autofocus compacts that were to soon follow. The company is named after the owner, Jack Hannes , an Aussie, it stands for Hannes import export,. I just enjoy bargaining for cameras at sales, learning how to shoot with them, and getting good results with my cameras.

I like the experience good or bad shooting with each camera and then seeing what turns out. Since I posted my list, I had the collection on display at the local public library — and was gived another camera! Prontor — S shutter,, 45mmf3. I see we share some of the same cameras, great blog by the way, much more details and clearly written on cameras than when I do it!

So many of my cameras are obvious, classic choices — the Canonet, the C3, the K You have some fine equipment there. For a long time I was a collector first, a photographer second, and my collection size and scope reflects that! A Spotmatic is on my to-buy list. Jim- If I need to feel happy or just relax , I read your blog!!! There is something here for everyone!

I want to get into the photography hobby in my mid life. I loved taking pictures when I was younger, but it could never get people to be still. Then, I never could get a good camera. I learned quite a bit about film in a class I had in college in filmmaking as in movies!!! Of course as a Fine Arts major I had several art classes and I have always dealt with the terminology. Well, I am not rich but I want to start off with a good camera so I do not have to carry so much around. I am thinking to start out with a Cannon as a good basic.

About Jim Grey

But , others are going Nikon or what else could you suggest for a beginner? I would appreciate a bit of advice. Since your not being sponsored , you can be truthful! Irena, if you want a digital SLR, the answer is the Nikon D, in large part because it has been superseded by the D and the D and therefore can be had for a song.

Identical to the type which has a chrome top plate. The Retinas were made for the film size introduced by Kodak in ,.

Hey Jim — I am so rude not responding to you earlier. I am usually not so up thoughtful. Then we found out my Daddy has Cancer growing right on his bottom eyelash area. He went to the surgeon today and they will remove it all a they find it and do plastic surgery. It has us all very upset. My Daddy has always been a very handsome man. He is 80 now and looks 60!!!

So I have not gotten my blog going very well. But , I would love for you to share my blog and like wise I want to share yours. I really love reading your blog. You know I got into the blog thing really to see if I could do this writing and creative publishing thing. Something meant as a journal , I suppose. As I started reading the wring of other people I find my own writing and enjoyment and appreciation growing for so much talent shared.

I feel so blessed. I have a couple of freelance book reviews due for promotions and I may start posting those on my blog too. I will be on it this weekend. Thank you so much for your help and Kindness. Love your blog and your collection! I got curious, bought some film, a battery, and played with the camera. I am now a film camera junkie! No consumer product made today feels as good and well-made in your hands as an old film camera. Thank you so much! That Minolta lens is sweet. And apparently it has sent you down the primrose path toward a camera collection of your own.

It was a pretty cool camera. I did not fully understand how to use it properly.

Buy for others

I use an olld Minolta SR T slr camera. I have a wide range of Lenses. It was nice bumping into you Jim. The Zoom is fun, but the SR-T is a great camera. You could shoot that one for the rest of your life, and get great images all along the way. Thanks for stopping by! The other two are to old issues of Popular Photography that Google has scanned and made available.

Unfortunately, this also means that there is no hot shoe for an external flash. The built-in flash uses 1 AA battery.

You pop it in and have to wait for a few seconds until it is charged. In my sample pictures, I included one image taken with the built-in flash.
