So i was just given a bunch of old school camera gear, a couple vhs cameras and some 35mm cameras, i want to learn more about taking pictures with 35mm so can somebody tell me which camera i should put my time into. Heres the ones that I have. Im thinking the canon is the one that i should start to familiarize myself with.
First one,
Olympus, IS-3 DLX quartzdate
second one,
Canon AE-1
third,
infinity superzoom 330

It's a reliable, quality camera with manual controls. Perfect camera to use to learn the basic ins and out of photography.
alright thanks man, i appreciate it.
yeah i have heard that the ae 1 is good. but i dont know for myself
Canon AE-1, sell the others and get a flash and maybe another lens. For a flash, alot of people sell Vivitar Auto Thryster 283's for cheap and you'll always want a 50mm f1.8 lens.
f1.4
Really appreciate it.
The ae-1, what lens is on it?
all the ones i've seen sell with a 50mm f1.8
i have a canon ae-1 and av-1, both super old to the max, av-1 doesnt even work so nvm. I just started shooting with ae-1 and its alot better and easier. just remember to have fun, post some pics up here when you get them developed
