Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

A camera that will allow you to do manual everything: manual focus, manual aperture (mechanically/dial), manual shutter speed, manual ISO. Raw would be good. Basically a digital K1000. My daughter learned this way and now this is the only way she shoots and she has excellent instincts for light

Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

I think my list would be restricted to manual exposure and raw format. If you go for interchangeable lenses I'd add a large-aperture prime. And since it's us you're asking, it should be a Pentax or Ricoh, of course. :-) Jostein Den 07.08.2016 20.32, skrev Mark Roberts: What would you set

Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

It's a pity there isn't something like the K1000 in digital. Nowadayd the cheap cameras are fully automatic. The non-P cameras start complicated and to get simplicity you have to pay increasingly large amounts of money. The world's turned upside down. B > On 8 Aug 2016, at 06:20, David Mann

Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

Studio photography usually equals studio strobes. They'll need a camera that can trigger those. Probably be best to have either a built in PC contact, or an available adapter that's compatible with their Camera. Minolta/Sony propitiatory flash shoes are probably not a good idea. I think a

Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

I think that pretty much covers it. Something to teach the basic photography skills. Manual exposure, for the three exposure related values, Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO. Manual Focusing, but it probably needs decent focusing aids, given the sorry state of most modern viewfinders, either

Re: If you were teaching a photography class...

Really depends on the class, Mark. If I were teaching photography I'd concentrate on "seeing" (composition, creativity, etc.) and just require one thing: that it be available. I'd be okay with smartphones (though I hate 'em). Were I teaching a course with studio shooting I'd require your list
