Hi. I have fourtunately come to own two neat old cameras. One is a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B, and the other is a Canon AE - 1. They are both in absolute perfect condition. My question is, which do you think I should use for everday photography, mostly outside? They seem to have very similar features. The only real differences that I can find are:
1. The Canon has 1.8 as the largest aperture setting, the Zeiss has 2.8. I suppose this makes the Canon a little more versatile.
2. The lens/optics width on the Canon are MUCH larger (is this JUST because of the larger aperture?) Does this effect image quality? (I am comparing 50mm lens on each).
3. The Zeiss is MUCH sturdier and higher quality than the Canon (There is hardly a piece of plastic on the whole thing.)
4. I have a functioning flash for the Canon, but not the Zeiss. This would come in handy occasionally I suppose.
So, considering what you might know about either of these cameras, which should I carry around with me regularly? Thanks
