The First Cameras You Consider Modern

[Gus Lazzari]

<p><strong>How about a modern full system Professional grade 1968 camera with:</strong></p>

<ol>

<li>Interchangeable film backs.</li>

<li>Removable focus screens.</li>

<li>Stepless Electronically controlled shutter 1,000th to 8 sec. (Needs two "N" sized batteries to function)</li>

<li>Aperture priority automatic exposure capable.</li>

<li>Motor drive capable.</li>

<li>Full array of stunning professional grade lenses.</li>

<li>Data write on to the film capable.</li>

<li>Full information viewfinder.</li>

</ol>

<p>Now sure, it's a mid-60's camera. But you've got to admit, it was certainly "Modern"<br>

and definitely ahead of it's time. Canon, Pentax, Minolta, Topcon, Nikon and Leica <strong>weren't even close...</strong></p>

<p>For me it's complicated. "Modern" is Olympus OM-4 and possibly 3, since it has multispot metering.<br>

From age point of view it is Horseman SW, since it has some features of largeformat and remains very compact and easy to use.<br>

So this is my opinion and personal feelings :)</p>
