This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers. if you're just looking for a product, you can probably find a decent used SLR on eBay for a couple of hundred dollars./r/photography is a place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography. As with any other Kickstarter project, there's a risk you'll lose your money, so you're buying into the concept and the company, not the camera itself. The Reflex 1 a relatively cheap, nice-looking, hand-made 35mm SLR camera being built in what looks like a serious way. Technically, the Reflex 1 isn't the first new SLR design in decades if you count the Lomography Konstructor, but that's a relative toy that can't take interchangeable lenses.
The Reflex 1 joins other retro film products, including Fujifilm's SQ10 instant camera, the Leica Sofort and (hopefully soon) Kodak's digital Super 8 movie camera. The other interesting thing about the Reflex 1 is the interchangeable plate, which lets you change lens systems instantly - handy if you have legacy glass lying around from different companies. That's a bit cheaper than the $570 FM10, and a lot less than the $2,700 F6. So why get this instead of, say, a used SLR or even brand new Nikon F6 and FM10 35mm SLR cameras? For one thing, there's the price: It's on sale for £350 (around $465) on Kickstarter, before it goes up to £399 ($530) when the campaign is over.
(Film stocks generally max out at 3200 ISO for black and white and 1600 for color.) If you're curious, a 36-exposure roll of 35mm film costs between around $6-10, and processing runs about $5 per roll ($10 with 36 4圆 prints).
The camera supports manual exposure and aperture priority settings, with +4 stops of EV, and has ISO settings ranging from 25-6400. You get both an integrated flash and continuous LED light source, each with three intensities. You don't get automatic aperture control settings, but there's a button for depth-of-field previews. It also includes an interchangeable film back that lets you load rolls of 35mm film instantly by swapping a fresh one in. The Reflex 1 has the classic look of an older Nikon or Canon SLR, and comes with an interchangeable, modular plate that supports a variety of lenses, including Nikon F, Olympus OM, Canon FD and universal M42 thread mounts. A company called Reflex has capitalized on that trend by launching the manual focus, 35mm Reflex 1 SLR, "the first newly designed manual SLR system in over 25 years." Written off not long ago as dead technology, film has recently been embraced by instant photographers and filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan.
