Slow Walking EM

 Another fine day for a leisurely stroll through Albuquerque's Old Town.






Ken Rockwell judges the EM to be Nikon's worst camera.  I beg to disagree.  I like the Nikon EM for its compactness, light weight,  aperture-priority automation, and the fact that it can use all my fine Nikon lenses.

I recently had a total disaster with a bad batch of PMK Pyro developer, so this roll of Kentmere 100 was processed in some reliable old Rodinal 1:50.

I feel the same way about my Minolta X-700. Some people say the X-700 is plasticky and cheap feeling. But whenever I want a leisurely day of shooting without much fiddling, the Minolta delivers, both in experience and the results.

Yes, another good example. I understand the nostalgic preference for the heavy metal cameras but a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since those days.

Nothing wrong with a well-working EM. I think people dismiss it unfairly.
