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

      I'm as ugly as you

        @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? 😃

          Use it or lose it.

            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) 😃

                Use it or lose it.

                          @goosehd I have to think that they must have because I had zero problems posting these,and if that’s the case maybe reach out to Twin and let him know,as I’m sure it would make him happy.

                            The water has that interesting yellowish color which which I really like. Much more pleasant to the eye than green water against a blue background if you know what I mean.

                            Use it or lose it.

                              @weftyarn These were taken early in the morning and the Sun was right in my face and lighting up the wave like that. Sometimes you can see the water behind the waves and it’s really sparkly. The pictures where the sky is blue are from later in the day.

                                    Thank you,I was watching the guy,and I was definitely a little bit hesitant to take it. I only took 2,so this was the one.
