 Mike.'s recommendation | |
Extremely well built, solid camera. Film advance and shutter release are amoung the smoothest I've seen on an SLR. This is a real sleeper classic camera comprable to early Nikons but can usually be found with the Zeiss Tessar 2.8 lens in the $100 (L75) range.
None. Sure it's old, doesn't have a light meter, etc. It's a classic. Get over it!
Solid, back to basics SLR. Will probably outlast most modern autofocus SLRs. Mine is 30 years old and works fine. The 50mm 2.8 Tessar is an excellent lens, and with the new faster films, f2.8 isn't really all that bad unless you need all the lens speed you can get. There is also a f1.8 Ultron which I don't have but I'm sure that is also a very good lens.
