My first camera, the Minolta SRT101, was full on manual... focus, aperture, and shutter speed. These days I shoot a full frame Nikon dslr for serious stuff, but for fun, I prefer something more portable. Using a wee u4/3 camera body, I find I enjoy a back-to-the-future experience, using vintage Nikon lenses adapted for the u4/3 mount. These backyard samples were taken with an Olympus ep3 in manual mode... an experience much like the old days but with the additional flexibility/complication of choosing an iso setting.
