Your Favourite Camera Anonymous 05/11/26(Mon)12:21:59 No.4508801

Do you have a favourite camera? If so, what is it? Why is it your favourite? I want to hear!

I'll start, I think for me it's a Nikon FM. I like it because it's always worked for me, I know how to fix it when something goes wrong, it's well made and it has a CdS meter. Lenses are easy to find, as are batteries. I got it for very cheap and it was already quite banged up so I never feel I have to be overly careful with it, which makes it an easy choice to bring with me.

>pic semi-related, my third favourite camera

i dont like cameras
they are the greatest enemy of photography

Goddamn gearfaggots obsessing over silver nitrate purity. Inhaling their toxic dust. Endless posting on their plates but no talent.
Just focus on composition.

There's no dust in the wetplate process, platelet. Only the sweet, sweet fumes of ether and toxic bromides.

When are you professional hobbyists planning to get off your high horse and stop pretending you can take photos without a camera. If it’s that much of an issue for you, sell your camera and use your phone. We know you wont.

35mm - canon 1v
Medium format - hy6 or technical cameras like the graflex xlsw
Larget format- Sinar P

Smaller formats are the easiest to use and have auto everything, and technical cameras are just fun to use.
Large format because it has the most technical capabilities out of almost any camera ever made.

I've always wanted the one with the wide angle frame lines, the r4 I think it is? Pretty cool.
