SLRs anyone?

[elf69]

Here is few snaps of my gear...

Edit:
Models...
Left rear: Pentax K100D Super with 3rd party battery pack.
Left front: Chinon CE5
Middle rear: Nikon F55
Middle front: Pentax ME
Right: Pentax K-M

The chinon and the left pentax has since been sold.

What is the Pentax in the front? I can't read the name of the actual model. My reason for asking is that my own very first serious SLR camera was a Pentax ME Super, which was a terrific camera, forgiving, robust, yet light.

And - while I really would rather not be critical - but as an actual photograph (which does matter when we are discussing cameras and photography) of a collection of cameras, it is really rather ........challenging - and, frankly, rather difficult, to actually read the precise names of the models.

Most of them, I really am sorry to have to say, are blurred and some are out of focus.

It is a pentax ME not super.
It was my first SLR and I love it still, although digital has almost killed it.
It has not seen use for quite a while sadly.

Yes sorry they not in focus was a snap with a crappy point and shoot camera only for my reference.

I'm happy to get and post full details of cameras and the lens over weekend if interested.

I like to take photos and want to learn more as my knowledge is poor.

My best shot to date was on that Pentax ME.
For record I love Pentax

You are in the right place to learn. Start posting and start learning....

Sad to say in my digital SLR it gets used in auto mode too often

My ME film camera is usually in aperture mode.
but usually in F8 as I don't know my settings

It's not hard to learn. YouTube is friend.
I always shoot in manual these days and doing it is the best way of learning.

Nice grab of cameras there. I have just one SLR left that I keep because it reminds me of when photography wasn't about pixel peeping, or whining about VR, or whining about crazy high ISO numbers etc. I just have a modest Nikon FM2 and one 105 macro lens.

Its hard to believe how little the quality of images have improved given the crap load of technology. I guess "photographer" back then had to know what they were doing to get that special shot. Please be sure, I find there are some truly excellent digital photographers today but most...well...draw your own conclusions.

there are some great photographers then there are good photoshop users.

I like macro shots as quite easy but would like to learn to do landscape shots.

I put hands up and say most mine are taken in auto mode.

better macro photo of the ME

[doublepost=1466969461][/doublepost]I thought I'd add a photo of one of my strange bits of kit.

It has seen use a few times in clubs.
