<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 533129, member: 4381&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t know about locking the mirror but my AE1 still took shots that my Cybershot can&#039;t touch in terms of lighting and focus.&nbsp; If I open the lens wide, I could take amazing closeups, catch pollen on bees with a standard 28mm lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want to get close with small shots because you want to catch more light and not close your lens down with zoom.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a professional photographer so forgive me if my technical jargon is wrong, but I used my AE1 for almost 2 decades and I took great shots.&nbsp; I understood how to work it.&nbsp; A key thing is manual focus.&nbsp; The AE1 has the reflex focus and when the two halves of that circle matched, I had perfect focus, must better than any automatic camera.&nbsp; I could also open up the Fstop with a twist of the wrist and let the light flow in.&nbsp; Even with 100ISO film I got great evening shots.&nbsp; It had the built in light meter that I could read to adjust my lenses in real time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
