The photographic DNA test

No jargon. No fashionable brands. Five questions to work out which camera suits your pace, not anyone else's.

Why is choosing a film camera so hard?

Because the second-hand market is full of options and every camera has its own character. A Pentax K1000 and a Canon AE-1 look the same from outside (two SLRs from the 1970s and 1980s) but their philosophy is completely different. The same goes for rangefinders: a 40-euro Soviet FED and an 800-euro Nikon SP work on the same focusing principle, but the experience is radically different.

This quiz does not tell you what to buy on Amazon. It tells you what kind of camera suits the way you see. After that you can browse the collection or look at what is currently for sale.
