Just found this Nikon 28Ti on someone's blog, I like the analog display on top, has anyone here used it before?

We can talk about ANY old camera here and share some experience. Personally, I found old cameras have more characters than newer DCs and they look sexier too. I have a Minolta SRT101 from my dad, I am still shooting my first roll of film with it, the light meter requires mercury batteries (which is banned long time ago) so I am shooting meterless, so I guess my first roll will be very crappy.

real-mccoy, which rangfinder is your favourite?

I only have experience with Voigtlander R2 and Leica M6.  M6 is much better than R2.

For fixed lens RF, I have Canon QL17 and Konica Auto S3.  I like both for their quality and portability.

Good plan wor ...

I'm just a frog under a well... so I can only compare Nikon series films SLRs.

As Catpiano says, price/performance on F100 is best bang for the buck.  F6 is nice, but not affordable; F5 is good, but it's not option to take grip off.  Focus speed, viewfinder magnification and brightness, handling, balance, features in my opinion  Nikon ever had ( on film ).  Those features I find even better than the digital D300 now.  

If I need minimum weight and doesn't require focusing need, FE2 will be my candidate.  It is actually not much bigger than RF with a prime.

All Nikkors has their own character, and can almost be used on any Nikon F mount cameras ( except G lenses which can only use min aperture ).  For budget-limited player like myself, that's a good investment.

Next wishes, like other says, RF and MF.

Maybe Catpiano should bring all his Canon camera and I bring all my Nikon and share among.

Because that the the camera I hv for ....  over 10 yr .. and I have it since new ar ma .. ( EOS 3 )

I like it, because it had the best AF system ( still )  eye focus is more or less useless for people with glasses like me ..  but the weight, balance, hand feel ..  very solid ...  it has bigger grip then F100 as well ..  (I have grip for it, interchange with EOS1N)

I like the shutter sould for both F100 and EOS3 ..

Of course, F5, EOS 1 those top end SLR are good .. but again, for  money/performance .. I like the F100/EOS3 series .. still offer near same feature as F5/EOS1 ( $2K vs $4K back then wor .. )   and within EOS3 and F100 .. I like EOS3 a bit more because of the handling/grip ..  but nice thing for F100, I can use AA battery ..  which is a big deal now ...
So, I can still play with my F100 once a while now, but EOS 3 ..  dont want to spend $20 on a 2CR5 for just take 1 roll  la..

Experienced but still crappy photogs
I prefer rangefinder over SLR, manual over automatic, prime over zoom, no flash over flash photography.

Catpiano

My turn ..

My favour one is the  3 !  EOS 3!  I love my EOS 1 as well ...  but it is long gone ...   and both EOS630 and EOS3 have been with me for ages since new ...  

I am still waiting Canon to make a EOS 3D ....  ^_^

Siulalodau .. I am sure you have lots of chance to try other brand ....

Nice to meet you all, especially Ding Dong fans!!!

My photo skill is really bad, so I also play more gears these days.  Good that film camera are so cheap nowadays, I have a chance to get some and appreciate the great works from the engineers.  Imagine, like 50 years ago, when there is no computer, engineers working nights and days to design such precise devices using mechanical gears?

I have mostly Nikon cameras, and among all my beloved one is still the Nikon F100 ( no $ for the pro series ).  I hope I can get a chance to try other brand's camera too!

ding dong (I will never call him dor la a mong) fans?

Thanks real-mccoy & SiuBLoDau for your info, I will try out both WeinCell & A76. I am still learning so I will mainly shoot digital, but I still want to learn film.

Sounds like you guys are experienced photographers, why don't you guys post some of your favourite cameras and share some experience.
