I'm trying to decide on a camera for my high-school film photography class but I have some questions first.
First off. Here is a Minolta srt 201.
The shutter speed goes from 1000th to 1 sec as you can see in this picture.
Im used to have up to a 30 second shutter on my dads 30d to use for a slow shutter shot.
Is there just no way to use a slower shutter than one second on this camera? I see that there is also a "Bulb" mode, but how in the world would I be able to know how long of an exposure is needed when in "Bulb" mode?
Second. Here is a Minolra xg1.
The shutter speed is also 1000th to 1 second and a "Bulb" mode.
This camera has an aperture priority mode and also a manual mode.
However, The camera's light meter only works when in aperture priority.
Does this mean that the only way to set the shutter manually is to have your own seperate light meter?
Also, does this mean that I still can't have a slower shutter than 1 second? Id really like to be able to shoot a 30 second shutter shot sometime.
