    As we do basicly all the time when we are out for a hike or stroll, we do take one analog camera with us
    Might have mentioned it before as a Canon Eos shooter, it's ideal to only have to take one set lenses which we can use on all our bodies.
    In our case a Canon Eos 1V is used, and sometimes we also take one of out Canon Eos 3 cameras with us

    Canon Eos 1V - Canon EF 16-35 F4L IS USM loaded with Rollei Superpan 200
    Some of the Rollei films don't like to be developed in our Caffenol-C-L version I found out, so developed it with Ilford Ilfosol 3 (1+9) for 7.5 minutes at 20C

    The camera brand, of course, doesn't mean squat. Pictures posted online can have been taken with a Kodak Brownie, a Fufifilm disposable, or a Hasselblad and no one can tell the difference. Fan boys will disagree with me, naturally!

    That's not why I did mention it, But you are right, It's not the camera that matters. I mentioned it because I opted to use Canon Eos gear a long time ago (somewhere in the 90s) and still do use Canon Eos gear, so I can use a single set of lenses (Canon EF mount) on our DSLRs/MLC's and analog SLRs.

    You would have to suffer from poor vision to be unable to tell the difference between B&W photos taken with a Box Brownie and a Hasselblad, if you were looking at reasonably large prints. Here's a Brownie photo: it really isn't sharp.LM0001_001_quarter.jpg

    It's rather a simple matter to post an unsharp image on a computer monitor.
