Here are a few pictures I took with the M6 using available light. I believe all of these were taken with a 50mm 2.8 Zeiss lens. The film is Ilford ISO 50.

I'm looking to buy a camera. The most I'm willing to spend is about $650. What are some good choices, any suggestions? Lenses for close ups? Show me what camera you use?
The iPhone camera is pretty amazing these days. If you really need to spend the cash, for that budget I'd get a pre-owned Canon 500D and EFS 60 Macro. If budget permits later, I would recommend a full frame body like a Canon 5D and an L lens.

I use an ancient 3 mega pixel Panasonic FZ3. It's from 2004. lol
It's a little digicam with a 12x optical zoom. The cool thing about the camera is the custom adapter. It transforms it into a really flexible camera.
I can shoot it stock, or I can add
- Olympus B-macro (+2.5 diopters)
- Olympus TCON-17 (1.7 teleconverter)
- Schneider-Kreuznach (0.7x wide angle)
- 55mm filter (polarizer, orange filter, etc)
It's kind of a hodgepodge but I love that little camera.

I don't shoot as much as I use to due to the cost of film and processing, but when I do shoot it is mostly black and white with my three totally manual cameras. Pictured below, Nikon FM2, Hasselblad (medium format), and my favorite, the Leica M6.
That Hasselblad is a real beauty! I love medium format cameras. I used to use one for B&W studio photography when I was in high school.
I personally use a Nikon D5100. I bought it shortly after it came out and have never looked back! It doesn't get out as much as it used to, but when I'm on holidays it is always strapped to me.

Cheers!
