You've probably read me say a bunch of times that the DSLR is dead. It truly is such a case. Using a DSLR in 2022 is like using a fax machine in 2009 when you could instead just send an email. It can do the job, but there is better technology that can do the job more efficiently. Mirrorless cameras and even your phone and incredibly capable these days. But just in case, here's how you can give your DSLR new life this year. You can view this article and much more with minimal banner ads in our brand new app for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. And for $24.99/year, you can have a banner ad-free experience. Convert it to Infrared This is an obvious choice for many photographers. Convert the camera to an infrared sensor option of some sort. The folks over at Kolari Vision can do this pretty easily for you. It doesn't make much sense to bring along a big, heavy camera unless it has a specific purpose. So give your DSLR new life by making it shoot in a completely different way. This way, your mirrorless camera can specialize in shooting in a more conventional and normalized way. But when you want to get more creative and fun, you can bring this one out and just enjoy the process. These days, there are lots of different infrared options. Some are designed to look a bit like Kodak Aerochrome. You'll still need to do a bit of processing, but you'll enjoy the overall experience. Change the Focusing Screen to Support Manual Focus Lenses This was a personal project that for years, I wanted to do but never ended up doing. Give your DSLR new life with a new focusing screen. DSLRs have interchangeable focusing screens a lot of the time. If the viewfinder is offering 100% coverage, then it's a bit more difficult. But if it's something like 97%, then changing the focusing screen above the prism is easier. Zeiss and other brands used to make things like split screens and more. Grab an old Canon DSLR, change the focusing screen, and then go grab some old Zeiss glass on eBay. Forget all about autofocus. Turn this camera into the manual focus dream that you've wanted for a while. You'll see just how different the experience becomes. It's never going to be as nice as looking through a Pentax Spotmatic film SLR and it will be nowhere as wonderful as a Pentax 67 II. But it's still going to be really nice overall. Can you use these with your autofocus lenses? Yes, but the experience won't be the same as it will for manual focus lenses. It starts with the old-school shutter slapping sound and goes from there. Lots of mirrorless cameras lack the audible romance of DSLRs; even though they gain a whole lot in return. Give it an Angle Finder and Shoot in a Different Way I truly wish that more DSLRs had removable viewfinders, but they don't. So instead, you can give your DSLR new life by modifing the viewfinder to shoot in a completely different way. It's nowhere as cool as using a medium format camera and having a big hood finder. But it's still a totally different way of shooting. By looking down at the screen like this, you're giving yourself a different experience. Of course, you could do this with a rotating LCD screen if it has one. But it's still not the same experience at all. Angle Finder photo by sachinese on Flickr.

The pandemic turned photographers back to film in droves. If you're looking for the best film SLR cameras to choose from while you're just getting into film, you've come to the right place. We've reviewed a whole lot of them over the years we've been around. And more importantly, the options we're choosing in this list suit a slew of criteria. A lot of them have mechanical shutters. Some of them don't, but then we recommend that you not spend an arm and a leg. But most importantly, we've done full and thorough reviews on all these cameras. Dive in with us! The Phoblographer's various product round-up features are done in-house. Our philosophy is simple: you wouldn't get a Wagyu beef steak review from a lifelong vegetarian. And you wouldn't get photography advice from someone who doesn't touch the product. We only recommend gear we've fully reviewed. If you're wondering why your favorite product didn't make the cut, there's a chance it's on another list. If we haven't reviewed it, we won't recommend it. This method keeps our lists packed with industry-leading knowledge. Some of our stories include affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Here are tips on choosing the best film SLR for you: No, your mirrorless camera lenses won't adapt to the film camera (but you could do the opposite). Whenever possible, go for a camera with a mechanical shutter. If the battery stops working, you'll still be able to keep shooting. This helped us choose some of the best film SLR cameras on this list. But with some mounts, it just isn't possible. At the moment, we're not including anything for Nikon F mount. This mount gets insanely complicated and is worth writing a blog post in and of itself. Besides, there are so many that could make this list of the best film SLR cameras for a beginner. When traveling, consider putting your film in a bag that will be hand checked. Don't run it through the X-Ray machine; their strength tends to vary from airport to airport and it could damage your film. Modern film photography is much different than it was in the past. The frame rate means nothing because film is expensive. The autofocus is nowhere as good as modern mirrorless cameras. But what's more important is how durable these film cameras are. Check the viewfinder and diopter. If you wear glasses, you'll need something that lets you see clearly. SLR stands for single lens reflex. This means that you can see what the lens sees. It's very useful when using things like graduated ND filters. Pentax Spotmatic: Access to Incredible Lenses Standout Features This Pentax has an M42 screwmount. It can adapt a ton of different lenses. But what's more important is how big and bright the viewfinder is. I'm legally blind, and I could see through it with little struggle. Oh, plus it's affordable. In our review, we state: “The Pentax Spotmatic is pretty much all metal. Considering that there are virtually zero electronics to deal with you won't have any sort of issues with the build. If you're one of those people who knows Sunny 16 well or can carry around a light meter on their phone and figure stuff out from there, then this is one of the most perfect cameras for you.” Buy ...

Photography, especially film photography can be rather expensive. From Hasselblads to Leica, these cameras are premium machines with premium prices. But it doesn't have to be that way. The gang helps our your wallet and show that even on a shoestring budget you can produce amazing images. From the venerable Pentax Spotmatic to Fujica ST605, Svema, Ultrafine, and Kentmere films are well loved and show off what you can do with inexpensive equipment.

During his latest tour of India, Ralph Velasco took some time to sit down with his friend Bob Edelstein and ask him about his photography and his travels. Here is what Bob says about himself:“I began taking pictures when my older brother came out of the Army. He had purchased a Pentax Spotmatic in the mid 1960’s. I immediately purchased my own camera and was in love with photography from the beginning. I took many courses while in college and started travelling to the Southwest United States where I fell in love with the landscape. Over the years I found portraiture to be very interesting and I really enjoyed the interaction of photographer and subject, which I still enjoy immensely. Currently, I have a real interest in street photography and conveying a lot of elements in my photographs. I really enjoy trying to show the viewer they need to take 30 seconds to look at the image to see all the elements I thought were of interest. I believe now, at age 62, the images I revere most are the ones where I had a personal “moment” with the subject, even if the image is not all that great technically. Those are the moment I seek out now, to be able to connect with someone from a different land, and to have the photographer and subject just share a “moment”.”Duration 34m 08s.
