i took a crap-ton of pictures today

Hopefully I’ll post them soon.

I want this camera

And to be honest, my desire for this camera is motivated in no small part by nostalgia. When I first started taking pictures I used my Dad’s 1960’s era Canon FT (I think), which came with a two-piece leather case. There was the leather base-plate that stayed on the camera at all times and the leather cover that snapped over the body during storage and transportation.

I need to talk to him and find out what he’s done with that camera. I loved that thing.

On a more rational level, the high-ISO performance is reputed to be much better with this new model. Low light performance for my baby was abysmal. Just utter shit. Everything else was so good, but dim the lights (turn on some Allman Brothers) and this camera looks shittier than your cellphone camera.
