Growing up in LA, there was a camera shop two blocks from my house, I would pass it and it’s blinking flashbulb sign day after day, for years I would duck in every now and then with my father or uncle, both avid photographers to pick up a chip, or a filter or some small accessory, but for years I just tapped my fingers on the counter and waited patiently to be lead to the toy store two doors down.Įverything changed when I was twelve years old.
Two being that the S2 is more affordable than the SP and the viewfinder not being as prone to haze as the SP.Holding the holy grail. While I have wanted to one day save up for a Nikon SP because my love for the Nikon F has me wanting the camera is was born from, Mike sent a note with his reasons behind these two picks.
This time the box included two cameras, an Exakta VX 1000 (review coming soon), and for my rangefinder quest, the Nikon S2. Being the owner of all cameras great and obscure, Mike decided to send me a surprise loan. While I fell in love with that camera after Mike Eckman lent it to me, I still want to see all my options before I invest. I talked about my search for a reliable rangefinder to add to my collection in my Canon review. If you want to use any other focal length, you’ll have to attach an external viewfinder. While this camera has so many advantages, one big disadvantage is that the VF only accommodates a 50mm lens.
Therefore, you have to keep one eye closed and you can’t be as aware of your subject and its surroundings. The image in the viewfinder may be smaller than in reality. Other cameras that don’t have this may look like you’re looking through someones prescription glasses. The viewfinder has 1:1 life-size magnification, meaning if you look through it with both eyes open, it looks as if you’re looking through a window.
