Photography in Malaysia

This site has in-depth articles and often manuals describing many classic cameras that you might find on the used market.  Some of these old timers, if you can find one in good condition at a reasonable price, just might be a better bet than a new camera if you have access to first class film processing and value quality and durability more than bells and whistles.

These sites are run by by and for serious photographers. Their reviews and tech tips tend to be more detailed and hands-on that what you will find elsewhere.  Michael Reichman's Understanding series is probably the best one stop source of technical information that you'll find on the web or in print.  Rockwell reviews both current and classic cameras, film and digital.  His tech tips and mini-manuals are remarkably concise.
