Cameras For Cheap

Not cheap, but way ahead of a lot of other cameras.

If you value your gear, this is the one to get!! Not cheap, but hey, my cameras and lenses are not cheap either!

I never trust cheap third-party batteries on expensive cameras.

Wanted something not too cheap to protect my cameras lens. This is great.

It's Holga. If you don't know what it is, research it first before thinking about getting one. These cameras are so cheap and * that it makes them good.

Great shots and cheap film. I use it often in all sorts of cameras and develop it myself. Use it.

I have these for all my cameras. The glass is so much better than the cheap plastic screen protectors. Worth it for protecting your investment.

The film itself works very well, exactly as is to be expected. The problem with the instax system is not the film but the cheap cameras made to use it. Using this film in a camera with more sophisticated exposure control that has been adapted to accept the film results in far superior results. However you choose to use it, do not shake it. You only do that with the older pull-apart style instant films. It's best left undisturbed and out of direct sunlight.

The Tamron 13VM308ASIRII is a cheap versatile lens for industrial inspection cameras; it is also good for IR. The image is almost as good as the more expensive megapixel version M13VM308. These lenses are also available with auto apertures, which would be useful in variable light conditions with appropriate CCD units.

Many mirrorless cameras are simply to small to add a neck strap; wrist straps work better, especially for the rangefinder form factor, like my Panasonic LX100. But there are times when you want both hands free...this is for that moment. One caveat: the manufacturer provides a small wrench and advises securing the pin tightly to the bottom of the camera, obviiously so it won't fall off. But I was concerned about turning too tightly against the case of this cam, and also didn't want the pin there permanently. So I screwed it tightly into one of the half cases out there for any number of cameras like the LX100 from MegaGear ($$cheap but good) and Gariz (not so cheap, but also good), This way I feel confidant that the camera is safe, but can get rid of the pin (and half case) by simply unscrewing the half case, leaving the pin secure, and ready to plug into the holster when desired. It works.
