Originally posted by RR84 In an age where photography has become so automated and convenient, why do you still choose to shoot fully manual vs AE, AF cameras? Is it nostalgia, an unwillingness to adapt to newer technologies, or perhaps something deeper than that?
If so, please mention which manual Pentax body if your preferred weapon of choice and why (SV, SP, KX, MX etc).
I shoot with a manual SLR because I have all the parameters under control, if the pic comes out wrong it's my fault, if it's good it's what I wanted to shoot and focus.
And the results are better: just ask film makers like JJ Abrams and the guys who shot Jurassic World...why do they use 35 mm? Tarantino also rejumped on the film bandwagon and resurrected the 70mm format.
For gear, I have too much, my favourites are the Canon F1N, Nikon F2A(S), Spottie F, LX and K2DMD.
