Contax g2 keh manual#
Easily accessible manual exposure compensation control – aperture priority shooters will understand that need.Aperture priority – this is how I shoot.Automatic film rewind – to enable one hand shooting and repeating frame.Autofocus – compact camera is more about grabbing the moment, I wanted to be able to react fast.Fast lens, minimum F2.8 – yep, I’m shallow depth of field junkie….Approximate 50mm or as close to 50mm focal length – easiest way to compose fast without thinking, stay in preferred field of view.Fixed lens that could rival SLR prime – I didn’t want to degrade in terms of image quality.I knew that I will have to go to compromise, but still, this is what I wanted: Requirementsīefore I went to look for a camera I made a list of main requirements or wishes. So I decided to find myself a compact camera for such occasions. I can’t put it in my everyday laptop case, it’s impossible to fit it in bike t-shirt back pocket, it’s uncomfortable to take to events, the pub, etc. An SLR is far too bulky to do that, even a small one. I wanted to have a film camera with me everywhere I go. Talking about genre, I’m not that settled in, but there are certain aspects noticeable in my photos: extensive use of 50mm lens, environment, details, nature, family and friends, reportage, shallow depth of field. Sometimes I shoot digital, but in most cases only when I have to because of: low light, need of big resolution and details or when I have to have immediate results. I changed many cameras since then and settled on best models for me, but in general, I’m still Pentax SLR user with the MZ-3 as a favourite instrument. I started to shoot film five years ago when accidently picked up Pentax consumer grade SLR. To sum up photography is a drug for me, and as I mostly shoot film – this drug costs money. It lets me see the world differently, to notice small miracles in dull environment, to detach from daily life, to recreate inner balance and to remain constantly positive. To understand my ramblings about cameras, one should know a fact or two about me.
