🔗 2018 Student Camera Project, Part I

Saturday, 30 December, 2017 — links photography

My friend Magnus Hedemark is starting to assemble a $300 learning camera kit. Besides budget, the key is that it’s a student camera, which he explains thusly:

A student camera is a camera that someone learning serious photography can use to effectively develop their knowledge and skills while creating images that are pleasing enough to make the whole experience worthwhile. They don’t require a lot of features.

Here are some of the things I would require out of a student camera:

1. Easy manual aperture control.
2. Easy manual shutter speed control.
3. Easy manual ISO control.
4. Interchangeable lens system with a common mount.
5. A prime lens in a “normal” focal length (effective focal length between 40-58mm).

I’m very interested with where this goes.
