Re: Yep. (56k no way.)

new to me...it was made in the late 1960s first SLR with integrated metering through the lens...

fixing old cameras is kind of a hobby. i dont get involved with the shutters or anything that complicated...

Re: Yep. (56k no way.)

the ae-1 program was made from 81-87 (canon intro'd the EOS mount in 89 i think).

SLR = single lens reflex, meaning that the lens you look through also takes the picture. the D in DSLR is "digital."

Re: Yep. (56k no way.)

O man, I bet the digital ability makes using the camera a lot easier right? I'm guessing on dslr's u can view the picture after u take it right? And on non digital 35mm u can't view the pic after u take it from the camera right? I hate how 35mm cameras like the canon I have, u aren't able to view the pic after u take it from the camera.. Does what I said make sense? Or am I misunderstanding?

Re: Yep. (56k no way.)

its called "chimping"...cause people who use digital cameras feel the need to look at every single pic right after they take it

raise camera to eye
lower it...look at screen
repeat



its easier because you can get the exposure close. but...the meters in film cams are more accurate and film allows more exposure error.

there are a bunch of tradeoffs for each but both are good...
