Cameras
Since December 09 I’m shooting almost exclusively with my trusty Panasonic Lumix GF1.
Occasionally I also shoot with my Panasonic FX3, a small handy second hand camera I bought on eBay and my very old and slow Canon G3.
Lenses
One of the great features of my camera (and also one of the reasons why I wanted it in the 1st place) is that it can take old manual 35mm lenses, which became quite affordable as digital cameras grew in popularity. Some are being sold for as little as 10 to 20 Euros on places like eBay.
After some careful consideration, I chose the Konica Hexanon AR system. The camera – lens size ratio is perfect, they’re quite cheap for their amazing quality, almost the entire range is commonly available (meaning that you won’t be paying extra for “rare status”) and there’s also a few other good lenses with the same mount, increasing my choices.
- Panasonic Lumix 20mm F1.7
(part of the camera kit) Exceptional lens! - Konica Hexanon 40mm F1.8
- Konica Hexanon 50mm F1.7
- Hanimex 28mm F3.5
- Tokina AT-X 28-85mm F3.5
I started with canon G2, now I have the pana lx3, but I feel less emotions with this camera, it does everything better, but it doesn’t make me shoot.
Whatever, Could you give more info on your gear on your blog about the old lenses with pictures of the gear and stuff.
Thx
