My dad gave me his DSLR but I would never look at the photos I took or cared for it.

Now that the number of photos I can take are limited I can’t wait to develop those photos and actually feel it.

    Nice. Have fun! When you reach the point where a point n shoot feels like it’s limiting you, there’s a huge amount of really great cameras like SLRs out there that cost less than some rolls of film.

      Woow, that’s interesting to hear. What’s the tech behind Leica analogue and why do they cost a fortune?

        Part of it is that they’re (mostly) very precisely machined fully mechanical cameras.
        Part of it is, that there is a selection of some of the highest quality lenses available for the cameras.
        But to an extent you also just pay for the name.

        There are tons of cameras that cost a tiny fraction of a Leica but work just as well and have their own selection of tack sharp lenses.
        You wouldn’t notice a difference in the results without a direct comparison.
