Sifting through my parents’ boxes of old stuff i came across an antique(read: old enough) 35mm Rolleiflex SLR. My dad was the manager of Rollei in Singapore but it never occured to me that he’d be interested in photography. It also never occured to him to give me his old cameras since he always knew i had a passion for photography. After getting hooked on B&W photography and developing in the darkroom, i asked them whether they had any cameras from Rollei. They proceeded to tell me they have several SLRs with many lenses. I could kick them. But well, here i am now with my SL35 E, albeit slightly spoilt and mouldy.
So before i begin my journey with Nikon’s D200, perhaps i might branch off from digital photography and re-live the 35mm film era (not that it’s dead now. Many people still prefer to shoot in film and i actually want a Voigtlander Bessa R3M). Film has always been the best way to shooting great photos because film tests your basics and pushes you to make every shot count. In today’s digital age, you can delete photos you don’t like and retake them as many times as you want. You sorta lose the whole feeling in the relationship with your camera. sorta like digital “prostitution”. With film there’s always the precious relationship to build. During NS my wife would be my rifle, i guess now it would be my camera. Here are some pictures:

There are dozens of digital SLR cameras on the market today; however, there are few clear or consistent guides to which ones are the best quality and most reliable. Well, Which Digital SLR Camera? has personally tested and evaluated these digital SLR cameras so to give you an easy and simple recommendation of which ones you should choose and which ones you should avoid.
