Firstcall Photographic launch manual SLR for beginners

2 Aug 2005 1:50AM by ePHOTOzine | Film SLRs Like0 Add Comment ADVERTISEMENT Phenix DC303NFirstcall Photographic Limited have teamed up with Phenix, the world's largest manufacturer (by volume) of manual SLRs to produce a manual SLR perfect for new learners of photography.

The Phenix DC303N is a manual SLR with a Pentax PK-mount and comes with a 50mm lens. The DC303N is a higher specified camera than the also newly launched Phenix DC303K and offers value for money at a price of 109.99.

As well as features including centre-weighted TTL metering, LED exposure display in the viewfinder and an ISO film speed to 3200, the DC303N also includes depth-of-field and multiple exposure buttons. The camera, which uses 10L14 batteries, includes a 50mm f1.7 lens with 52mm filter thread and a free leather-look case worth 10. The DC303N is guaranteed for 12 months, providing a replacement camera within this term (when returned with box and full documentation).

The DC303N is an ideal camera for learning photography. Sales Director of Firstcall Photographic Rodney Bates said: "Despite views to the contrary, digital is not the quintessential element of picture-taking today. In particular, when learning the mechanics of photography, a film based option is infinitely superior." As part of it's 'beginner's package' Firstcall Photographic are also offering a PH280A flashgun, giving perfect flash shots, and four auxiliary lenses. The 24mm is for wide angle, the 28-70mm is for short zoom and the 28-105mm is for medium zoom and portrait.
