Response to Street Photography from Greece

from Dimitris Kioseoglou (kosefoto@otenet.gr)
I agree with you about Minox cameras. In my opinion as far as street photography is concerned Minox 35mm cameras are my first choice even they have problems with the shutter after a strong use. I bought the GT-E having my old GT with shutter problem!! With the GT I lost 2 or 3 frames in every roll! Do you have any problems with your ML? I also have a Yashica T4. It has a good lens, very good light metering but it is a little noisy.

I used to use ASA set up dial since my first camera, a Practica B100, which was an aperture priority auto camera. It is not so difficult if you have practiced in the past with an all manual camera and you are used to set aperture and shutter speed for different ASA films in different lighting situations.

I am familiar with Martin Tai’s Minox forum and I think this is a very good forum. As the history of Minox cameras is mainly the 8x11 subminiature cameras I can not find questions and answers about 35mm cameras. But after reading a lot about 8x11 cameras I am thinking seriously about buying and trying one! Can you suggest me a good model?
