I am a relatively new collecter, and somewhat of a photography newbie (I will be active in the beginner forums!).
I have a few oldies and was wondering about opinions from more experienced photographers on usability and value.
I use, on a regular basis, my Pentax MZ-5, it's not very classic, I imagine, as most of it is automatic if you choose for it to be.
My backup is my father's old Pentax K-1000. I used this camera for the high school newspaper about 12 years ago.
And I recently acquired a Voigtländer Prominent I. I believe this is really the start of my collection and it's in excellent condition. It comes with a Proximeter II, Kodablitz flashbulb, a Weston exposure meter, and a Horvex exposure meter. One lens came with it, a 50/3.5 Color Skopar. Some reading up on this camera reveals some exceptional quality but quirky design? Is this true? I would love to use it but it is designed much differently than any camera I have ever used...
