    Recently got back from a trip to the USA, left my expensive cameras at home and took nothing but an EOS300V / Rebel Ti and a 40mm pancake. Great travel combo, very light weight, compact, and easy to carry. Being 'auto-everything' meant that I was spending more time 'in the moment'.

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  Před měsícem +1

    @Swift-Post Před měsícem +2

    100% this is my go to combo too. The first camera I ever owned was the G. I bought it myself at 10 years old! Now they’re $20. A used 40mm pancake make it a cheap and cheerful combo PERFECT for travel. Light weight, no need for a lens cap, but two have a spare.

    @andyrunton Před měsícem +1

    Got one of these a few years ago for $20 and love it. It’s *so* lightweight. It’s a little slow to react in auto mode, but I highly recommend it to anyone with any modern canon glass. The older lenses a more a little slower, but this works with any ef lens. It’s great with the 50 or 35 especially. Pick one up when you see it! You can cover the annoying auto focus light with gaffer tape, and clean up any gummy rubber with isopropyl alcohol.

    • @LucyLumen

    I know the feeling you can have for a Canon EOS Rebel. I think some of my favorite photos were taken with an EOS Rebel XS and the 35-80mm zoom, which I now sold to a friend who wanted to give it to his partner.
    I am currently testing the Eos Elan 7, but it is indeed larger and heavier than any EOS Rebel. Perfect little cameras!

    Tough question! No film cameras, My Nikon ZF with the Voigtlander 40mm 1.2. Maybe instead the OM5 with the 17mm 1.2 (equivalent 35mm). These two are in my bag always for when my subjects aren't super active, i can use manual focus with 40mm. And the 17mm when i need autofocus. I cant pick just one😂

    That was my first camera - dug out of my dad's wardrobe and loaded with ultramax, I unfortunately became a film photographer and as a teenager my wallet has not recovered since. My complaint of the camera is in Av, pressing the flash button doesn't cause the shutter speed to compensate - best stick to the automatic modes with flash to avoid a slow shutter and overexposure. On a positive note, great video and shots, here in the UK there's always at least one pesky cloud!

    don't fret Lucy, Kodak Gold is GOOD, I've just shot some with a Sinar F2 monorail in a sinar Zoom 120 back (in 6x12 format, aka 6 shots/roll) using 90 mm f5.6 and 65mm f5.6 Fujinon SWD glass, had just the developed negs, and scanned by myself (Epson V850 at my local Library, Basic software, NOT Vue scan or NLP, but importantly at 600 DPI 24 bit resolution) turned out GREAT, a good 'staple' film for us, not too contrasty, or as 'whacky' as some of the Lomography or instax films, with the coffee/metropolis, etc tints. One tip, use lens hoods, esp. when the sun is out, and you won't go too far wrong; This was my first film with LF, and it worked!!! hooray!!!, fyi this is my 4th roll of 120 had some glare issues with the other 3.

    good to hear this is an "effect" and style you are going for!, my other comment was just as a person with Autism, my eyes are extra sensitive to glare, so that flash from the glasses caught me off guard a bit, but the backlit light is great, as long as you don't silhouette too much, Unless that is a deliberate choice, of course, I shoot architecture, seascapes, cars, boats so this issue is a constant one for my work, to use the sun/clouds but not to glare and wash out the image especially by a wrong asa choice, or indifference to the prevailing light; but I'm getting better at it.

    Great photos.
    The Canon rebel range with the 40mm pancake lens is magnificent, though the 50mm f1.8 STM is a very good fit as well. I mostly shoot digital these days, so I don't get to use my Rebel as much anymore - there simply aren't any good lab options in my region, and I don't feel comfortable developing film myself.
    I use a similar digital setup instead and make that work - mostly shooting aperture priority or fully manual, because I'm a bit of a control freak 😇
    Or that is, I used to photograph - work is getting more and more demanding, so there is no energy - even if I see a subject, I would take the time out to photograph last year, now I just see it, but I don't stop and pull out the camera.
    Hopefully things will change eventually, but right now I'm just looking forward to three weeks of vacation mostly relaxing...

    Hi Lucy! I inherited my father's Rebel G with a kit zoom lens but have yet to use it. It fired up with new batteries so I'm sure it would work. My father was meticulous with his stuff. I was never able to buy your framed print at Relics. I left multiple messages and visited the store but they basically ghosted me. They turned out to be rather flaky and not surprisingly, got into some financial difficulties as per their posts asking for donations to keep the store open. I gave up on them. I see Ali now and again at photo walks. I was supposed to spend some time in Brisbane/Gold Coast late last year and I might have looked you and Lux up to say hello but the tour company changed the itinerary on us last minute so a no go on that trip. Cheers, Charles

    My go to everyday lens is a 27mm 2.8 pancake on crop (40mm equivalent), and it's probably my favourite all around focal length... Still wide enough but with a bit more compression than 35mm.
    I'm currently working thru some rolls of expired Fuji Superia 400 and Lomo Colour 400 (which is just Kodak Ultramax, but I got it for cheaper lol). I really like both depending on the subject or conditions, as Fuji is cooler/greener and Lomo more neutral, compared to Gold.
