So you asked for the negation - if nobody likes to answer you gather no information ... BTW: I have used an EXA 1a for the first years: no autofocus, no modes, no built-in meter, shortest time 1/175 s, cheap 50/2.9 lens, but a bayonett. I don't miss it. Best, Bernd ---original message-------
Shel Belinkoff Wed, 22 Dec 2004 23:57:27 -0800 I was talking with a friend earlier and the conversation got around to modern cameras as he's thinking about getting a digi for his daughter. There wasn't much i could help him with since I know so little about modern cameras, and apart from shooting a few frames with John's istD and a lesser number of frames with Juan's istD, and one frame with a Minolta a couple of years ago, I've never used or even handled a modern autofocus camera. That's probably quite unusual for this list. That got me to wondering how many people here have never used a fully manual camera - no autofocus, no modes, no built-in meter. Anyone? Shel
