Benjamin Perlin captures the world around him as a photographer in Tennessee. Benjamin Perlin works largely with film and owns several cameras, including a Nikon F2 and Fujica Compact Deluxe.
Film has remained a popular choice for photographers since its invention, and it is poised to make a major comeback. Below are three of the best film cameras of all time.
- Canon AE-1: Manufactured between 1976 and 1985, the Canon AE-1 is a sturdy and affordable film camera. One of the most widely circulated single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras in existence, it features an automatic mode and shutter priority.
- Nikon F2: The first professional 35mm SLR system, the Nikon F2 is an ultra-reliable camera that was produced between 1971 and 1980. Complete with titanium shutter curtains, it is capable of providing speeds of 1 1/2000 of a second and only costs between $350 and $550, depending on color.
- Pentax K1000: This camera has an all-metal body and is frequently referred to as a “photography tank.” Despite its heavy weight, the Pentax K1000 is easy to handle thanks to its fully manual settings and the absence of unnecessary buttons.
