saving my pennies

The Dallas Cowboys have a depth-of-field chart for the Konica Hexar AF? Do all these guys use them? Must be a great camera, no wonder the price went up!
 
Brian, as I have read it today, the hexar af can be "upgraded" (just as with silent mode and other features) to have an option to focus in IR. It is just shifting the focus scale, thus it is not the lens correction but the focusing.
 
Joe - thanks for the offer🙂 it's a nice warm feeling to know that I can count on your help, lol

I've also thought of a canon, by the way. But not a bottom loader. I absolutely refuse to go for a bottom loader camera no matter what are its qualities. I have tried a bottom loader FED and it was a PITA; no thanks😱
 
it is an acquired taste for sure.

but i was surprised to discover that i don't mind it at all.
maybe it's my laid back style of shooting or because i usually bring a p along also so i'm never without an easier load camera with film in it.

it forces me to sit down to load film - time for smelling the roses...

There's an advantage in bottom-feeding (aka slow loading): you have to stop and take stock. It forces you to get back and work with your hands, in a nearly artisan manner, to clip the film into the receiving spool, fit it in the camera, advance it carefully and...

Let's get shootin'! 🙂

BTW, I like my M3's loading. I'll never have it fitted with the quick-load method, which only brought anxiety and frustration to me until a Leica rep taught me how to load film in my M6TTL.

Pherdi... try shooting with one of those Canons one day...
