良かったね!
After months of dating, my girlfriend sent me the following mail:
"Philと一緒にいたら美穂もカメラがんばりたくなる.
美穂もいいカメラほしくなってきた😀"
Basically, 'if we're going to be to together, I want to try to improve at photography... I think I want a new camera..."
She's been using point and click digital for all her life. For a trip to the Japanese Alps next week, I want to set her on a learning course that's instructive but not too intimidating.
I can lend her one of two cameras as 'hers' for the trip: Canon P or a barnack-styled Leotax. In LTM, I can lend her one or more of:
50/2 lenses (Japanese and Russian)
35/2 canon
28/1.9 CV
100/3.5 Canon
My thinking is this:
Leotax + 50/2 Topcor & meter + Fuji 400 = simple
My reasoning is this:
- less cluttered finder
- focal length that forces her to compose
- lens that's not strictly for bokeh
Reservations:
- squinty (and separate) finder doesn't give comparison to other focal lengths
- max shutter of 500 (vs 1000)
Frankly, the meter is my biggest concern, but we'll shoot together, so maybe it's ok. Is my plan ridiculous? Advice?
