A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Why all of sudden cameras , especially the mediocre crappy budget cameras from the 2000s & 2010s have become popular again. I'm seeing my Instagram and YouTube feed being flooded with reels and shorts about 'this 20 usd camera takes film like photos'.

So what's next , Nokia era phone cameras being popular again.

I bought a lD Mark IV because I could afford it and it was an amazing camera back in the day when it was released. I didn’t know that there was a fad going on but so what people who want to sell their old workhorse cameras will get a little return and younger generation will get to experience oldie but goodie cameras which are crippled in ways that force creativity. I couldn’t afford an m6 so I’m glad these options are out there
