>>3840390Some of the things he told me were:
>Get a few prime lenses instead of a single zoom lensIf I wanted gorgeous still images that BTFO everything, this would be the way to go. And that I would find my favorite focal lengths over time
>Learn to develop your own film >Take look at Kodak Tri-XUsed to be his favorite film
>Screw a C-Clamp into the tripod mount and either get a remote release or use the time trigger for nice stills.Said this would be VERY handy if I were to capture the city skyline from one of the bridges.
>Use lenses with SSC>Many dealers, especially on flea markets, don't know that old analog cameras don't release the shutter without a battery. Use this to your advantage.Pic not related (shot before I met him) but from the AE-1.
