Pics Taken With An Old School SLR

[ilovemash]

So here are some photos I took with an Old School (1977) SLR Canon AT-1 Camera, lemme know what you all think:

My Gold Stripe Maroons in their BTA

Coral Beauty

Healing Purple Rim Monti

Sailfin Tang (Named Pootie)

Assorted Corals

Mystery Wrasse

My Zoas

Just a Taste, that is my first time using that camera, so Im sure I can improve. Im debating whether to keep this camera or go ahead and buy a digital SLR. Suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking!

Looks like it works well enough. Fish photos are darn good.

Not bad photos, especially for a film camera. Practice makes perfect. Mind if I ask what lens and film you're using? I recommend a higher speed film for tank shots (ISO 400 should be good). I'd keep this camera even if you get a DSLR. There are things you can do with film that you just can't pull off in digital and you'll be able to find some of the higher end lenses used much cheaper for this camera than the new systems. Also, if you can get your hands on a macro lens or extension tubes you'll be able to get some great close-ups. HTH, keep it up
