>>4303525Well aperture controls the look of the photo so you should really be setting it for any photo that's not a middle distance snapshot of a central subject.
So for me that's the most important control.
And aperture by extension controls the shutter speed, so I don't really need to know what it is; I know from the film I'm using and the ambient light level whether I'll be handheld or not.
I shoot with modern cameras as well, but I find it irritating to have to peer through the finder to check what aperture I'm set to (and if ev comp is set), and then scroll to get to the desired one.
>a few identically presented lcd numbers>is this one iso or ev comp or shots remaining or shutter speed or aperture or a c.fn menu>just carry a printed manual everywhere to check what those fuckers are, btwI mean I appreciate their versatility, but at the end of the day they all take the same photos, and 99% of the time the extra features just clutter the ones I actually use.
What's a better kitchen tool, a good knife or a thermomix?
