Had a Nikon FE since 1984. I am on my third one. For a $100 or less, you can't go wrong. My current one was bought in 2002 for $75.

Best Film Cameras for Newbies
And the winners are: Nikon FE (and FE2), 1978 Nikon FE, top view. Photo by Edgar Bonet (CC BY-SA 3.0) Plusses: Durable; plentiful; has all the right features; repair services easily available, diopters ditto; small and light; satisfying to use. Many lenses available. If you like it, there's an...
If the G9 is the Porsche 911 (although I was thinking more along the lines of a Audi S4), then my silver Pentax KP with silver metal 20-40 lens would be a Land Rover (albeit with a bit of chrome).

The Panasonic G9 is the Porsche 911 of Cameras
So—big surprise—the G9 is not what I thought it would be. First of all, that idea I had about using the same sensor as the GX8? Out the window. The G9's sensor/processor makes pictures look quite different than pictures from the GX8. In some ways the files are better. And I don't think I like t...

Last Fuji Sale Before the Price Hike
Fuji is about to raise prices across the board. Fuji has also conditioned us to wait for its regular sales to make purchases. Two days ago Fuji announced the last sale based on the old prices. It's logical to assume these are the lowest prices we'll see going forward, although that might vary by...

What the Weather's Like (OT)
I'm a bit mystified. It's 77°F and cloudy in the vicinity of Penn Yan New York this morning, and so far August has been...delightful. First I heard how bad the Winters here are, and this past Winter was mild with hardly any snow—not once did I need to call a plow or fire up the snowblower. Then ...

The Best (and Worst) Cameras for Street Photography
Guest post by Gordon Lewis I’ve been practicing street photography for the past forty years, and have done it with practically every brand and type of camera there is. I’ve used rangefinders, SLRs, DSLRs, 35mm, medium-format, and pocket cameras. Some have had interchangable lens mounts, others h...
Emes or emet (not emis) is a Hebrew word (not Yiddish) which means truth.
