Camera advice


SuperBowlBound

Recommended Posts

I want to get a film camera for gatherings that I host throughout the year.

I've been burnt by disposable cameras the last two times I used them and I don't want to tempt fate a third time.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a film camera? I know it is easy to use an iPhone for everything today, but I enjoy the mystery that film developing provides. Nothing beats opening up the film package and seeing a crazy photo. Most of my gatherings are held indoors, so I'm guessing a point and shoot is my best option.

@Jeremy Igo, I know you're the resident photographer here and I was hoping I could solicit some feedback from you on this topic. If anyone has any suggestions or can provide a good option, please let me know.

Thanks for reading in advance.

I'm sure there's a lot of great vintage film cameras out there for cheap. A friend of mine collects vintage cameras and actually gifted me an Argus C3 which was the first camera I ever used and was given to me by my dad - it was a 1950s vintage. He knows a guy who does excellent repair and refurb work on vintage cameras if you need a recommendation.

The most popular and highest rated 35mm cameras ever produced, obviously just before digital took over:

Canon AE-1, Leica M6 and the Nikon F6. 

I owned both the Canon and the Nikon at one time and really enjoyed trying different light settings, etc. You can easily find the AE-1 for less than $100 (keep in mind that it originally sold for around $300). The Leica may be a little more difficult to find and the Nikon was pretty popular as well and can be found for less than $100 also.

    • XL I dont even think he gets a full season. He's almost in a moment to moment tryout, post training camp. If he does his 'jumping out of bounds' catch again, I think the team calls him an Uber. 
    • Kudos to the Knicks and their diehard, true fans. Like the Hornets, it wasn’t long ago that they were considered the laughing stock of the league with a trash owner (I guess Dolan has gotten a little better).    Loved seeing the energy in MSG. 
    • Yeah one big factor has been he is surprisingly quite durable. But the reality of that aspect is much of it boils down to plain dumb luck more often than not. Big guys get hurt smaller guys get hurt it happens across the league to anyone to varying degrees. The issue is we are staring down the barrel of a possible top 10 QB salary and Bryce Young is one of the least physically gifted starters in the league. That is not a shot at him it is simply a rational acknowledgment of circumstances. There is a legitimate question to be asked if his window as a starter in this league is smaller as a result because what is going to happen when those hits that he has previously popped right back up from with a smile on his face begin to accumulate as they do for every player that has been in this league? These are just things to consider.
