Print series camera’s:
For those interested in what camera’s I use, there’s some tech info:
Early 90’s Canon EOS 5 bodies. In the US these bodies were released as the A2.
These camera's can be found on ebay for about 200 USD dollars.
I use a new Canon fixed 40mm 2.8 pancake lens.
I rarely change focal lengths.
I shoot in AV mode @f8 most of the time. (light permitting)
I rarely use flash in my film work.
I love these camera’s & they never fail.
I buy many of them & sometimes give them away as gifts to other photographers.For years I shot with a Leica M6 manual focus rangefinder camera with a 50mm lens, but I ’m more comfortable & faster with these old Canon’s.
I only use Kodak Portra 400 film stock.
Canon made the beast of a camera the 1V model. Full magnesium body & weather sealed. These still sell for about $800 USD.. I'm getting one for 2021.
All my commercial & studio work is Canon digital.
