Old camera & new lens or old lens & new camera?

[chrishayton]

Dont know if an m4-p is yet classed as old but the lens is new (color skopar 35mm)
As long as a camera works it doesnt matter if its 50 year old or a brand new MP when shooting film

Old cameras can break down easier than old lenses, so logically, the "old camera" options in the poll should get the lowest poll numbers, but this is not the case.

It's because I sold my soul to DAG and Sherry K.

I support the "whatever works, in whatever combination", but voted for the old camera/new lenses - as a roundabout odd way of thanking cameraquest and voigtlander. I've had a Fed2 for years that I never got on with, results never worked for me, the Fed collapsible 50 had terrible flare and I had no other lenses to try with it.

Enter the CV21mm in LTM! What a revelation! The camera works great, and is great for a lens so wide that focus is a relative concept.

Old Summicron 50 on M8

Since getting my M8, I have rediscovered my first generation rigid Summicron 50 chrome M mount. It spends an inordinate amount of time mounted. It originally lived on my M4.
