What is the charm of old manual lenses?

The charm of old lenses is that they allow you to turn "photography" into "photography". Because the function becomes weaker and more dependent on artificial intelligence. You raise the camera, look at the viewfinder, slowly adjust the focus until it's clear, and then press the shutter. This process becomes slower, leaving us more time to think about why we want to shoot and how to shoot well. This is very important! Other factors: Good value for money. The image quality of many cheap old cameras is not inferior to that of other automatic cameras. Show off. A lot of old guys are all metal. The disadvantage is that it is too heavy. However, the manual head is not suitable for novices to use, as the result of focusing on the film is still out of focus, which is too frustrating. If you must use it and practice your hand, you can use an automatic camera with a split-image screen that is good at continuous shooting, and press the shutter while turning slowly. These are all for cultivating the focusing eye and feel.
