Advertisement Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Hi MikeMyers, Take a look here M3 or M-A. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I sometimes just open the app to check if I guessed the lighting situation "correctly" without even having the camera with me.. practice makes perfect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMyers Posted September 21, 2021 Share #83 Posted September 21, 2021 Life is strange. After using my M3 for a while, it is now off at DAG Camera Repair, where Don will make it "into a camera that he would feel good about using", meaning he has a blank check to do what it needs. Then today, I found a used M-A for sale with a warranty for around $5,000. I'm not in any way "wealthy", but I guess I could spend that much, but I know I will like the viewfinder on my M3 more than the finder on the M-A. Eventually new M-A cameras will be available for sale, probably for around $6500 or so, and having a new camera warranty would potentially be very useful. It seems pointless for me to be using both an M-A and a M3. (....and I've got an M2 sitting here, waiting for a trip to DAG.) In the meantime, I have been enjoying my Nikon F4 all over again, but comparing one to the other is like comparing a tiger to a lion. The comparison is meaningless. The only advantage I see in the F4 is when I use long lenses. But I've been scanning my old 1960's negatives from my M2 with a 50mm Summicron, and my scans seem "better" than those from my F4. Along with that, I don't know how long I'll remain fascinated with film. My real choice is how I would compare my M3 or M-A to my M10, and so far, I suspect the M10 has an advantage in so many ways. If I get tired of film, I'll go back to digital. Maybe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
