The Kodak No.1 Autographic gets a few "ooh's", as does the TLR, along with the "can I see's?" The Leica IIIa gets the "can I see that", but usually from people with some appreciation, so I don't mind them handling it.
"For myself, I found that with digital I began to rely on quantity rather than quality. Hell, with a 2 GB card in my canon I could fire off 20 to 30 shots in a matter of seconds - At least one would turn out good. I enjoy that fact that I have to think before I press the release"
You really think digital tech is doing this to you? And do you really think that just firing off 20 to 30 shots in a matter of seconds is going to give you a good shot? What are your criteria of a good shot?
What can you do? All the simpleton fools out there. It's reassuring that we have a place here to proffer these anecdotes with a little sigh at the end though.
With my R-D1 I still tend to take only 1 or 2 shots of a scene/opportunity. But what I do like is that the review screen gives _me_ the opportunity to try to be a bit more creative at times. It's a bit like fashion shooters using polaroid to preview/review their shots before committing themselves to a full-blown shoot. OK, it's completely different and probably not a good analogy after all. It works for me, though 😛
