Birds of a Feather
As a serious photography site, with a stated devotion to the greatest accomplishments in the field, I feel it behooves TOP to point out the latest and most significant publications—however esoteric they may be. Some things deserve your attention even though self-recognition might not always be e...
It's really the end of an era, with the death of Willy Ronis.
Alongside Cartier-Bresson, Boubat, Doisneau, he was the last to have recorded all those people of France, before and after the war.
In his pictures, whatever the subject, there was always a testimony to happiness, life, childrens...

With a terrestrial 28mm it would do great pictures when one got used to acquire distances by sight (it did have a cell of the FM2 sort).
The fact that it was bright orange added some similarities with Sony's "My first camera" and most crowd wouldn't really pay attention to it (helpful for street pictures).
If my memory serves me well, it was featured in the movie "Stargate" (the original) in it's military olive version...

On Simplicity
If my email correspondence is any indication, there's still a good deal of confusion among some readers as to what I mean by a "simple DSLR." I've been asked how a camera can be highly specified (i.e., very well built, with excellent performance) and also be simple. Of course the two aren't mut...
