Hey /p/ came here for some advice. I want to buy my younger brother

>>3016562
pentax spotmatic + pack of assorted film rolls. hell love you.

Thanks anon he got dumped last month and he has been bummed . I'm trying to get him something good for his birthday . How does this camera compare to a yashica rangefinder ?

>>3016566
yashica one is semiauto, fixed lens. spotmatic is full manual, can swap lenses. also its lens can be even used in the t3i.

Is that your brother? I thought that looked like a trap. He's very convincing. Could you post his phone number or kik?

is that kik or snapchat?
sent dick pic regardless to both. tell him to hmu.

What one does he have more lenses for?

If canon, get him an eos 30 (elan 7 in usa iirc) it does cool shit like autofocus where you look in the viewfinder. Was crazy expensive in the 90's.

If nikon, f90/f90x/f100, just absolute powerhouses for the amount they cost, again their price is 10% of what it was 20 years ago.

If you want to be really awesome, get him some b&w film and all the kit he would need to develop his own film too, whilst developing colour negatives is only $5, b&w is $20+, but really easy to do at home.

>if you want to be really awesome

Yes, do this please. He could develop film in a bathroom or even a soda can I think.

All you need is a pitch black cupboard/bathroom or a changing bag just to wind your film onto a reel, the rest is done in daylight.

>canon fd
most of it age like milk.

>nikon
everyone wants them so they are stupidly expensive

>olympus
om1 looks nice but stupidly expensive

>contax
muh zeiss

>pentax
the only choice.

>>3016562
Fuck 35mm get him a medium format instead. You can find a decent russian Kiev 60 mf camera for around 150$

>He could develop film in a soda can.

how do u develop film in a soda can anon? even if you can make it light tight, sounds like a recipe for some sticky-ass film lol :-)

Since when is the OM-1 expensive?

There's a tested and working body with a Buy it Now price of $50 right here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Olympus-OM-1n-chrome-body-working-condition-/132086333002?hash=item1ec0f57e4a:g:OV8AAOSw241Ylmfg

And it looks like the average price on Ebay for the Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 is less than $50.
