Since the quality of digital 135 SRL is closely to 120

Nope [For Stacey] Here's an obvious one - try, "because sometimes people go out in thunderstorms". See? This "logic" thing isn't that difficult at all! and I don't understand why digital camera users feel a need to discuss/promote their cameras all over usenet. Because they are knawed by doubt - the doubt that maybe somebody doesn't think they are now far superior to normal humans. The doubt that their camera might not be a sufficent status symbol and hence not subsitute for lack in other areas. Be careful - previous experience suggests that responding to such questions with possible explanations means that you too are "discussing/promoting your [digital] cameras all over Usenet". Even mentioning the dreaded "D-word" as part of an explanation of some optical phenomenon or other could very well make you one of "them". The irony is that at the moment, our friend Stacey here seems to be discussing little else *but* digital cameras, almost to the point of obsession. Even in the DoF thread, he's harping on about digital sensor density. |

120 not so very expensive
Seagulls are horrifically bad, with dismal QC. Any Japanese vintage
TLR would be much better. If you are on a low low low budget, I suggest putting ads at supermarkets and laundromats stating that you are an art student (in a sense, aren't we all?) and looking for old cameras, working or not, for art purposes. Put a little drawing of a TLR and a screwmount Leica so they will sort of get the idea. You will get a lot of crank calls but some old bag eventually will offer you a bunch of photo junk from her dead husband and you will have hit the Trifecta. Save the dead ones for parts. In fact a lot of people would buy really expensive cameras and when they jammed they would put them away in mint shape, making them worth repairing. Ed Romney, who died a couple of years ago, talked a lot about this in his books. If you are in Elvis Country you'll benefit greatly from them. |
