Hello
---------- Post added 01-05-18 at 04:58 AM ----------
We were on the subject of cameras but watches are ok. I have 2 lomo pocket watches they are lomo because you have to wind them up and you never know what time you're going to get.
A smartphone is just a phone without buttons and comes in very handy knowing your exact location altitude direction you're facing the current position of satellites and the temperature while you're sat in Starbucks with a skini latte and a panini

Hello all I'm Steve new to forums but not photography
There are 2 terms that now seem to be used but I can't see why.
There are some i do understand such as lomography. Company retailing unbelievably expensive plastic Chinese cameras and expensive film.
Lomo taking snap shots at random without framing, metering or focusing using out of date film for artistic effect.
But seriously the new use of the old word analogue to describe a film camera. They have always been called film or film cameras as far as I knew.
The other is copy. I don't get that one at all. I once bought a very bad copy of a minolta x300 it was no where near as good as the original. Then I started to feel sorry for the amount of people who had bought copies of all sorts of cameras and lenses. I even started searching the net trying to find out how you can spot a copy of an original. But if you have a film camera or analogue copy of a a camera which is fake is it then a copy of a copy.
I would be grateful if someone could explain. Ta.
