Hi all,
Im beginning to enjoy shooting 35mm due to the convenience of the size plus having over 3 times as many shots per roll - and if colour film easier to find somewhere to develop it! When having a look around at other cameras - I enjoy collecting the more unusual cameras it seems, I came across the concept of half frame 35mms like the original Olympus Pen with its epic exposure counter going up to 72
I am just wondering if anyone here shot half frame cameras at all? I like the idea of economical shooting but still like film vs digital (although have a DSLR). I like how you need to fit the entire composition into a smaller space which I guess makes it a bit more challenging.
I am just wondering if there are also some other well known half frame cameras I should look at, I like the idea of half frame, but don't really like the look of the Pen EE (although I guess it is 'retro').
