Photo gear – get down to the nitty gritty for music-related shots
I normally use a Rolleiflex 3.5F type 3 with various films
such as Ilford HP5 plus, some Deltas (400 & 3200), and Kodak T-Max
400. For special occasions, I prefer to
shoot with two Rolleiflex’s – 3.5F and Automat type 3 with the distinctive ‘flare
factor’. Moreover, there is a designated camera for heavy studio labor: a
Mamiya RB 67 Pro SD with numerous lenses (65, 75, 150 SF, 180, and 100-200mm
lens). I am not a BIG 35mm fan, but
there is a Leica M4 with a 135mm f2.8 and a 35mm f3.5 ready for somewhat that a
Rolleiflex might not be able to catch. Let’s say I am not able to shoot within
my favorable shooting distance (2-4ft), the Leica is the tool to cover this
distance. 
Why analog cameras? A few reasons...
- A purchase for a lifetime.
- Easy handling, sturdy and dependable.
- No attraction to thieves.
- Nobody takes care of what you do.
- Got no ‘professional’ appearance
- No batteries needed.
- Never-ending fun.
