Hi everyone,
I've been reading all sort of threads in this page for so long, but just recently decided to sign up to become a member, so, uhm, hi :)
So after multiple times having my batteries died out in the middle of the day, or feeling a little uninspired by the look of lots of cameras with theirs gimmicks, I want to settle down for just one.
It'll need to be mechanical, so that I won't have to worry about battery (problaby won't gonna even insert them in, 'cause sunny 16), and plus I can live with the illusion that my camera gonna last with me 'till the end of time.I really don't need anything complicated, simply just a tight dark box that takes 35mm will be fine by me.
Probably gonna stick in a 28mm for just about all the time, maybe a zoom telephoto if I see some animals (who doesn't love animal?)
Like I said, all the gimmicks like auto-exposure are unnecessary for me. I just need metal camera that can go with to all corners of the world, and never fails me. (And also can build a system without too much money, can't able to drop out of college)
I know there're all sort of "Top 10" articles on the Internet, with cameras from Nikon Canon Pentax Oly Minolta Topcon Leica ... that can easily answers my question, but many choices doesn't mean it gets easier to choose, especially when the thing you look for are other's experiences.
So if anyone have some recommendations, that'll be so great !
