But...I would agree that Gear is mostly irrelevant. But not totally... Me? I would buy a 1970's Nikon FM film SLR camera. It get's you back to the basics of photography. All that digital nonsense overloads you with all sorts of crap that you don't need. Without all of that crap you can focus on what really matters - light, composition etc.<br /><br />I bought my Nikon FM with a 50mm f2 lens for $100 (3 years ago). I then bought some black and white film.. loaded it wrong and took a bunch of photos only to figure out what I had done wrong. After learning from my mistakes with film, I feel competent now.<br /><br />I've had lots of digital cameras (5d mkii, 7D, d3200 Nikon) and they all "meant" something to me... but only at the beginning. When they went obsolete I couldn't care less about them. I felt no connection with them. Well... after three years... I still love my FM. And it may be obsolete by todays standards... but it was when I bought it! So I don't care! And the way it feels in my hands is great! All metal! Heavy and not plastiky!StllThrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921983026526292684noreply@blogger.com
