My first SLR bought new in 1965 or 66. Wonderful feel in the hands when using it - just fits perfectly. Clean, clear finder may not be as bright as later cameras, but very precise focus. When I bought it most cameras didn't have meters, so you trained your eyes to meter. Used it a lot for sports and campus photography, portraits, etc. Then moved on to Leica and others.
Found another a couple years ago, and after Eric serviced it, it was a revelation. I get better shots than with my later, TTL metered cameras since I don't spend time worrying about exposure and other details. Even the 55 f2.0 lens gives amazing results.
Sure wish there was digital "film" for it! |
