![]() ![]() ![]() Manual focus sucks, so buy a Bessa or Hexar or,….Leica if you prefer manual focus. (neither did Juergen Teller, I guess) And the viewfinder does have an adjustable diopter, if you’re wondering. But it’s AF, so I’ve never had a problem. Admittedly, the viewfinder lacks the bright clarity of the Leica. I’m unsure why some Leicaphiles feel this is not a “true” rangefinder. Expect a little “hunt” and a less than optimal rangefinder viewing. While the 90mm would also fall in those categories, it was the only one I felt fell short in the AF category. Every Zeiss lens available for this camera is beyond exceptional. The 15 Best Film Cameras List Contax G2įirst up in the 15 Best Film Cameras is the Contax G2. Alas, limiting to 15 is kind of arbitrary, and lots of great cameras were left out. Also, the Minolta X-700 (actually X-370), was my first camera, and the camera used exclusively by Ren Hang. Those are available all over the internet for each camera. These 15 Best Film Cameras are subjective opinions of user experience. (just kidding) By the way, the Rolleis were available with Rolleigon glass, (cheaper), Zeiss glass, (what I have), and Schneider glass, (the most expensive). But I still have and use an F4s, I like that it has no LCD’s, I like that it is fully compatible with almost all Nikkor lenses, I like that it does NOT have any leatherette to peel, and I find it the most useful Nikon when viewed as a weapon in a fight. Just because the Zeiss glassed Rolleis were a little esoteric and the F5 is everybody’s best Nikon film camera ever. The only other film cameras I’ve used extensively and did not list are the Rollei 6003 & 6008 and the Nikon F5. And, of course, one is a Polaroid camera. The fact that they’re all film cameras, and most people use a phone these days for pics, really puts them out of the mainstream, anyway. If you have different faves,…well, what can I say. But in most cases I’ve actually used said cameras, and they’re my favorites. I’ve already been told by two other photographers that my 15 Best Film Cameras list is weird and stupid, and that all the other “best” lists have only the Olympus, and maybe Leica, (but different Leica), in common. ![]()
