Vintage Cameras are the in thing (apparently)

[Chris Dodkin]

Saw this ad in the window of a clothes store at the local mall - and was immediately taken by the gorgeous looking...

... camera she's holding!

The store is Michael Kors - and their spring collection features a couple of nicely proportioned, and rather stylish vintage cameras.

You think she'd be interested in the forum Hamish? - she looks keen!

 

[Brian Moore]

The body...of that camera...is in very nice shape.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

To be fair Brian, I bet it's seen a few rolls....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Now, now, she seems a nice lass. Love the strap.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I'm thinking leather Rob.. you?

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, her camera bag is big enough to hold a fair few rolls!

Actually in that article in Pixel Magazine the lady from the Lomo reseller referenced the interest generated through images such as this. Maybe she's right!

Here's another well maintained example from the Spring Catalog

Camera bag looks awesome Pete - looks like this one could carry a Blad or two easily!

 

[Paul Lange]

Do you think she shoots wide open?

Come on! I know you were all thinking it but didn't want to say it

 

[Chris Dodkin]

May have gone a little far south with that one Paul!

And perfect for the environmentally concerned wildlife photographer!!

Great convo guys!

No synthetic materials were harmed in the making of this large messenger bag!

In fact - next time I see one of those 'which bag should I buy' threads on DPR - I'm posting that 2nd picture and saying that I've found this bag to be extremely practical and very low-key in the urban environment

I would have thought a brick wall print bag would be all the rage for all those times you want to check distortion of your new lens but find yourself in the countryside. God forbid you should want to just use the bloody thing to take a real photograph.

Phew! I bet there was a few people on DPR who live in the countyside who felt they were missing out on the brick wall shot.

You know why vintage cameras are 'in' don't you ? people have used the Fuji x series and decided they want the real thing instead of a modern imitation (currently running like hell )
