Pentax MZ6 misc shots
Some people might say I have a lot of cameras. But what is a lot anyway? If there are 200 fish in a lake no one would say that’s a lot of fish. So like 200 fish in a barrel my cameras just happen to be close together. Having so much choice does pose some problems though. It’s mostly a tug of war between the competing interests of creating images and playing with cameras. In the simplest of terms when it comes to film cameras there are three main categories to choose amongst each with different benefits. There are the small and light ‘point and shoots’ that you can stuff in a pocket. There are the rangefiners that give better results and are quick and quiet. Then there are the SLR’s like this MZ-6 that are the most versatile but are more of a commitment to carry. If you think choosing which one to take to any given place is easy you should see me trying to leave the house. I know it’s one of those problems that your not allowed to complain about because its not really a problem in the grand scheme of things. The best schenario is when I get to take one of each and a digital camera and an instant camera…oh maybe I can fit a TLR in the bag if I just put that one in a pocket….
