After much research, I have recently acquired ....................
It's almost fully automatic which I like because (these days) my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I have a little trouble setting a manual focus correctly.

The auto focus is fast enough and the camera sits in my hand just perfectly. I understand the 'si' model (si = super) is a slightly better than the standard Dynax 500 due to its metal lens mount. All in all I love using this camera, despite the slight 'clunk' it makes when the mirror tucks back when I take a shot. Here are some of my first shots with it, using Kodak Portra 400 film, taken in Russell, Bay of Islands..................... click on each picture to see a larger view. |
