      Absolutely loving those shots @J-IV @Ross
      I love the analogue look, but never tried to actually shoot manual.
      Maybe I should…

      Here’s some B&W from Hamburg. Sadly didn’t make it in time for the party, but still enjoying some free days in this characterful city.

          @weftyarn Really great,but then again it’s what I’ve grown to expect from you. I’ve been on a B&W kick lately but haven’t been able to post because they’re too large.

            @weftyarn Was thinking of you when I was shooting this. It was in Asbury Park,NJ,which I think you’d enjoy photographing. This is a screenshot.

              @weftyarn l really like the canal shot and the window sitter

              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
              Well, I have others.

                  @Ross @J-IV okay I think you got me. Any recommendations for a starting kit? Which is the system where you get the best glass at a reasonable price?

                  @steelworker the window one is also my favorite. I love to just point at open windows and see what happens.

                  @Jett129 thanks mate! I’m on a real B&W roll lately. That stones track perfectly matches the shot. Love it!

                  Use it or lose it.

                        @weftyarn it all depends on your budget, my friend. And the kind of shooting you do

                          @weftyarn After some reading I went with a FED-2, basically a old Ukrainian Leica clone, overall so far it's been extremely solid and is quite pretty to look at on my shelf when not using, which is always a nice plus.

                          I know the Kiev-4a is also recommended if you prefer the Contax style cameras although it's a smidge more expensive and a bit chunkier/heavier. The old soviet cameras are very cost effective for just giving it a try to see if you like it without breaking the bank.

                            Body + 35mm full frame equivalent lens for street photography at ~1k€ would be awesome. Doable? 😃

                              spent the weekend reflecting on my prior question and took a look back at a few trips. 90% sure i'll be taking the monochrom, 50, and 28. Granted, Hamburg is a little more monochromatic to begin with, but I had a good supplement of cell phone color images that I'm not going to "miss" things anyway. Just going to have fun and take pictures as the opportunity presents. Sharing a few from the aforementioned trip, though this was in May, before the party.

                                @weftyarn ahh thats plenty, honestly.

                                Rangefinders - I'd look into the Canonet QL series, Minolta Hi-Matic, and the Leica CL.

                                SLR - Olympus OM series, Nikon FM series (my fav is the FM2), and the Canone AE-1 program.

                                Let me know if you wanna chat more. Couldn't really recommend lenses as the price varies too much but I'm sure you'll find one to meet below your budget

                                  @J-IV Excellent, thanks a ton mate! I’ll take a closer look when the weekend comes. Also I just realized my father may have saved one of his old Olympus cameras. As a German saying goes: „Manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht“ (sometimes you don’t see the forest because of the trees) 😃
