Easiest Mirrorless Cameras To Film And Take Pictures

I TAKE ALOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS. I LIKE THE COLORATION OF THE FILM.

I shoot film for two reasons: 1. Film lets me shoot with old cameras. (My favorites right now are the Nikon F2 and Nikon S2. I also shoot a Nikon FE which I like very much.) Older cameras don't necessarily take "better" pictures, but I think I take better pictures with them. I have to slow down and be more deliberate. This doesn't mean I can't shoot something that is happening at high-tempo, but I just have to plan better. 2. Film renders images differently than one of my digital cameras. Colors, contrasts, dynamic range -- all different. Not necessarily "better," but different. Better is a matter of opinion based on whatever criteria you establish. Sometimes "better" is not technically superior; it just looks really nice. So, this review is following my first roll of Lomo100. I was shooting my F2 with a 50mm f/2. Lomo100 has a nice clean look about it. Contrast is pretty good in strong outdoor light where you'll probably be using 100 speed film anyway. Colors are not super-saturated, but nice. It renders color somewhere between Portra and Ektar. It's a tad bit grainy for a 100 speed film -- but see note 2 above -- NBD. It's inexpensive and fun to shoot. Although I shoot more expensive films on occasion, I have a hard time justifying it in a 35mm camera when you can have a great time with stuff like this, Fuji C200, and Agfa 200 (if you can still find some).

Small, lightweight, ideal for travel. Great for mirrorless systems & film cameras like Nikon fm2(not good for dlsr and heavy lenses!). If, on a trip, you do not want to carry heavy tripods, this is the right product.

To preface this story, this is my first DSLR and my first Pentax. Before this I had owned two mirrorless cameras.  First I started with a Lumix S1 but was looking to upgrade and convinced myself to sell everything to buy into the Fuji GFX system. To my (and many others) surprise I was dissatisfied with not only the build quality of the 50sii but the images I was creating with it. Something just didn't look right. I couldn't place my finger on it but things looked... sterile?  I thought a digital medium format sensor was the answer to replicating my medium format film cameras but alas, this was not the case. I wanted to capture a black and white film look with a digital camera but couldn't afford a Leica monochrome. It was a risky move on my part but I sold my GFX after doing a lot of research into the K3iii monochrome. The first day I took it out I knew I had made the right choice. Images from this camera are pure magic and have tricked many people around me thinking it was film. Match this sensor with a M42 adapter and throw some Super-Takumar, it looks identical to B&W film. Love shooting this thing at night at ridiculously high ISO levels. The build quality is like a tank. View finder is bright and easy to focus. Speaking of focusing, the auto focus is faster than some of the mirrorless cameras Ive used. I don't ever want to go back to mirrorless after using this gem, there's nothing like framing your image through the lens. My only complaint is it takes a second to get used to exposing correctly. You need to be very mindful of blown out highlights. Images match that of any full frame camera I've ever used. I love this thing so much I can only hope Pentax will release a full frame monochrome camera in the future to compete with Leica. Anyway, if you love B&W photography then this is the camera for you.

Have had great fun with this lens so far. Great with film and with digital. When adapting to mirrorless cameras with a helicoid adapter close focus is quite effective. Well built, good-looking lens. For this price I definitely recommend it.

At first I wasn’t too keen on going to mirrorless cameras because I was happy with my DX system but when I saw this retro looking Nikon I just couldn’t resist. In my opinion, it just screams retro film and I absolutely love the styling and feel of it. I took it out as soon as it came in and tested it out. I’m pleased to report that it performs as good as it looks. Nikon really nailed it with this retro styled camera. I realize it is not for everyone, but I grew up with film cameras and love the look.

Take your high end carbon tripod and shrink it to handle a small mirrorless, or web cam at the right hight... this might be overkill but it works well and it's every bit as good as a full size.

Amazing stabilizer, great with mirrorless cameras.
