Quick portrait of RFF shooting preferences (2011)

[ray*j*gun]

I voted for "sometimes auto x but that's only because of my Yashica GSN. Usually its an RF sans lightmeter with manual focus.

and TLRs and large format.

+1 here. And P&S cameras like the T3 and GRD2...

I have one RF, A Contax G1, with a 45mm f/2 lens, in AE and AF 90% of the time.. I do that clever AE lock a lot also... Old Eyes you know...

My favourite is a DSLR and I use auto exposure and the RFs I use have no automation. Did not vote.

I use SLRs when I'm taking pictures of stuff that I'm selling. Other than that the M8 is always by my side.

I bought my first camera a little more than a year ago. Stopped using auto exposure within the first week and haven't since. At the time I thought it'd make me a better photographer but really I just like contrived challenges (I am a juggler among other things.)

I use Aperture Priority autoexposure a lot. It usually sets the exposure where I would manually anyway, and if not, it only takes a click of the thumb wheel to dial in compensation. Shoot mostly DSLR's, but also RF in various formats.

I don't even own a RF camera anymore. Hopefully you won't kick me outta here ;-)

I don't own an SLR, just an M2 and an X100. On the X100 I usually use the autoexposure once, then set it manually after looking at the picture, unless I'm in a situation where lighting is constantly changing.
