I am in NYC, on my way to Mexico, and I'd love to buy a used 35mm Leica film camera. Maybe a canon (cause all my lenses are canons) but I would love the camera to be small and light, which is why I am thinking Leica...I can spend around 1,000. Also, I am no techie, so if you just have some suggestions about great 35mm film cameras that would be awesome too. I know this isn't a place for buying/selling and tech advice, but I know so many wonderful people on here!

Try Camera Traders in NY (not sure if still around) Cheers, Adam Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:07:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/id-like-to-buy-a-used-35mm-film-camera-in-nyc-or-mexico#128998 Thanks Adam.

Contax g1 or g2 are not exspensive, great smal and quiet cameras with excellent zeiss lenses also not expensive. For 1000 you should buy camera and three lenses 28,45,90.

And if by Canon you meant SLR's, I have and several FD lenses as well as one F1n and two T-90' bodies. All in great condition. I am in NYC too. Buena suerte en Mexico.

It is manual focus only, but it comes with automatic/manual exposure. I would recommend the OM-4T/Ti, which comes with multi-spot metering. I have one OM-PC and OM-2000 for sale at a much less price than $1000. The former is also called the OM-40, one of the economy OM cameras and the latter is the last OM camera made by Cosina. Unfortunately I am in Baltimore, a few hour`s train ride from NYC.

You can definitely pick up a new or used body in NYC before heading off. wb Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:41:49 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/id-like-to-buy-a-used-35mm-film-camera-in-nyc-or-mexico#129045 Hola Katie, Como te ha ido? Yo tengo una Canon EOS 3 como nueva, si te interesa, escribeme.
