BACK IN THE DAYS
bec i said so
I grew up on the canon ae-1. I don't call myself a photographer, but sometimes with newer automatic cameras the automation ruins what you already knew...er...gets in the way. It's way heavy man.
still like it, still use it, in fact i have 2!
Its one of the best cameras to use. Very robust. I use the manual settings the most, they allow me to manipulate each scene. Artfully Yours, Pacco J Pompei.
I learned photography on this camera, and still prefer it to my digital for authentic looking black and whites.
This was my first slr and it may just be my last. I've done more with this camera than anything I've ever owned. I just had the body cleaned, new light seals, etc and the quality of the film I get is wonderful. I have a very nice digital and like it a lot, but when I really whant to go out and shoot I take my AE1 with me.
