The Praktica L2.. The 'thunderous' applause SLR. Whenever i use this camera the mirror is like a slap louder than any other 35mm SLR I've used..

The Bronica EC is a heavy camera, however it is a thing of beauty! I mean.. Just look at that! A true work of art!
Nothing like the plastic craptastic cameras of today. Metal, leather.... chrome... and beautiful!

The Lubitel II. What can I say about it, other than it's actually a fun camera to use with a fairly sharp T-22 75mm lens. It's simple to operate and works really well, aside from the absolute worst focusing screen I have ever used on a TLR. Sure, it's bright, but it has the smallest spot for focusing. Hair ripping out teeth grinding Hulk Smash kind of thing.

This.... camera... is one of those cameras that ... honestly, unless you got it for free or were paid to take it.. You've over paid!They are horrible monstrosities that should be deep-sixed any chance you get.Horrible little pieces are garbage!

The Yashica M5 is perhaps one of the oddest and more rare of the Yashica cameras, but not a collectible. It is simple to operate. Just pop in a battery and set your film speed. There are three aperture settings. Wide-Open.. ƒ/8ish and ƒ/16ish.. The rest is up to the camera..Just look through the viewfinder, adjust your focus and click!

The Plastic Filmtastic camera from Fuji that takes their wide line of films. It's fun to use, simple to operate and still makes people sit in awe and wonder as they see the photo come to life before them.With a plastic 2-element lens and an almost focus free operation, you just point... click... and you're done!Just remember for people shots, try to keep it at least from the waist up or more.. That SHOULD be around 3m away... But most importantly... have fun!Cheers

The Kodak 35RF is a very simple camera. Designed by adding a bit of ugliness to an otherwise sultry looking camera, the Kodak 35, the Rangefinder option makes it almost look like a camera infected by "The Borg" from Star Trek. Although the camera is not exactly the nicest looking (usually found on the UGLIEST camera lists) it does have that certain something to it..Oh who am I kidding.It's just simply ugly! There is nothing else to it.. Well.. it does have a nice lens!
