Vintage Digital Camera Recommendations

I'm really happy with the quality of images using vintage lenses with a digital camera. I love being able to use my FD lenses with my DSLR. It functions smoothly and helps me keep my equipment minimal.

I wrote a review for the 1/4 BPM too... so some of this is the same. I've been told my work has this vintage, or cinematic feeling, but that's not the reason why I use these filters. I like Black Pro Mist filters because cameras these days feel too digital and too sharp - to the point of where I think it detracts. It's entirely subjective - and I hate the cliche of saying it's my style but it is. The best way to describe the look of the BPM 1 is it makes your image or video look way less digital in camera. The halation in the highlights is very noticeable and it overall softens the feel of your image or video. Color grading with these filters is still easy, as these filters just changes the sharpness especially with how highlights fall off, and it doesn't quite impact the color itself - with exception to how saturated it is. If you want that dreamy, or incredibly vintage look, then get at least a 1/2 or 1. The filters are relatively inexpensive for camera gear, so give it a shot. If you don't like it for your everyday look, you never know when it'll come in handy for one-off projects!

I started using Nikons in the 70's and went on to 4x5's and resisted digital cameras as long as possible. I tried a few recommendations but my old school thinking was my down fall until my daughter introduced me to the ZFC. It's an easy camera for the old die hard to use. Set it to manual and I've never been happier.

It is great to know we can still use our vintage camera.

High recommendations.

I took your recommendations and I am very pleased. Thanks again.

Great description of the camera and all the menu items. Practical recommendations for settings too.

I have a lot of vintage glass.  The reason I went with Sony was so I could use it on a digital body.  Love using adapters!  Build quality is very good, in fact, it rivals that of the more expensive Metabones adapters.

I use a variety of adapters to convert vintage lenses for use on my two Leica digital systems. Of all the adapters I have used this manufacturer's are the best, and their support is superb! Thad

I ordered this for a few vintage cameras that I have. Nikon SP3, Nikon F and Canon Canonet. With exception to the Canon the cameras do not have meters and the Canon is not really very accurate and kills batteries. This little meter fits nicely on all three cameras (additional hot shoe mount needed for Nikon F) and looks great. The digital readout is very nice and this can be adjusted to read in third, half or full stops. I tested the meter against a Gossen Luna Pro as well as a Sekonic digital meter and so far all readings are accurate. I am so glad I pulled the plug on this meter and now look forward to taking it out in the field.
