It's not quite pocketable, but this is the job my G1 gets used for. It doesn't have a fully auto option, but it does aperture priority fast enough. The size tradeoff comes for getting to use interchangeable lenses- and brilliant ones at that.

Oh man, I started looking at Contax G1's and G2's on KEH and then reading about them online. I'm too poor right now to buy one! :cry: Why did I get into this hobby...

Doooo it. Totally worth living off Mac and Cheese for a while. They're such ridiculously good cameras.

My XA2 arrived today (hello, bandwagon!), complete with an mostly already shot roll of film. :raise:

Hopefully it's not kiddie porn

Years ago when I was doing filmmaking, I bought a bunch of rolls and cores and various other supplies. Sure enough there was a homemade B&W porno movie in there shot on 16mm. It's amazing what some people will throw away.

Any SF-based goons need to get to the Harvey Milk Photo Center on 50 Scott Street now. They're doing a garage sale; they're selling a ton of old 35mm P&S cameras and darkroom equipment for $1 a pound. I'll post this to a couple other relevant threads too.

Edit:

Don't come today, they just closed on me. They said they'll be back on Tuesday, and they think it'll take a while for this stuff to sell.

I grabbed some 35mm P&Ss and a tank and six reels (two 120 and four 35mm), a weirdass Mavica video camera (gotta find floppies), and an old Kodak 110 camera with film in it for $4.

What the heck, I'm there every weeknight. When did this start?
