Hi gentlemen, with due respect with your difficulties, here is my first camera ( I was 16). I had to adapt to a large number of user interfaces to arrive to the CL, through a lot of maker'families...😉

I have just to say that personally I find the CL easy to use, and profiles welcomed for that, age needing help!😋

All the best to your pict.

glad you posted this. after all my winging and b1tching and moaning about 1st world camera problems, i was going to post that i've overcome problems that would put any and all the modern digital issues in the back seat. i started with a much more primitive version of that camera, a folding kodak 620 my grandmother owned, but it only had a strip with 3 holes you pulled back and forth to adjust the light and had no manual shutter speeds--i think it was set around 1/75th.

my first camera i owned was a second hand $10 pawn shop argus c3, the famous brick, with a cracked front (well, 2nd from the front) element.

but the camera i wanted to relate was back in high school when i was taking photography and shooting for the school newspaper and yearbook. we only had like 3 school cameras one being the nikkormat jr, or whatever the budget nikon was called back then. and it was always unavailable. so i had to go shoot west texas friday night high school football (our stadium was the host to the great friday night lights odessa-permiam state championship game, btw) in stadiums which might have like 4-6 working lights. worse, i had to shoot with the budget yashica tlr, not even the very decent yashica-mat which had a faster lens, and a honeywell potato-masher flash on a bracket with the camera along with a battery hooked to my belt which weighed like 4 pounds and would barely make it through a roll or two of film.

now, if i can overcome that, anything subsequent in the camera world is very small potatoes indeed!
