Question : What is the best old style film camera to buy
I am looking to take some pictures that look like they are from the late 70s early 80s. I bought some old kodakrome film and now I need a camera. I like the pictures the Leica R3 takes but the Summilux 50 mm lens is too expensive. Are there any other good old film cameras that pictures like the Leica does
Answer:
If you like the Leica R-3, buy a Minolta XE-7 with an MC ROKKOR-X 50mm f1.4 lens. The R-3 is really an XE-7 modified with a Leica lens mount and metering system. If you have the bucks (and can find one), the Minolta MC ROKKOR-PG 58mm f1.2 is definitely an awesome lens.The XE-7 (and R-3) have a shutter designed by Leitz and Copal and is arguably the quietest shutter ever on an SLR. The film advance is buttery smooth. The XE-7 also allows for multiple exposures by pushing a switch to disengage the film advance and frame counter.The Minolta MD 35-70mm f3.5 and MD 70-210mm f4 constant aperture zooms are excellent - so good that Leica sold them for the R-3, R-4 & R-5. Leica also sold the Minolta 16mm f2.8 180 degree full-frame fisheye.
