Sure I could, but I'm addicted to the speed and quick turn around, the color fidelity when I shoot color, and the resolution I get from digital (compared to 35mm). I can match the dynamic range, and the only thing I find appealing about film is it's response tone to light, which can be emulated. If someone gave me a free…
The Rollei takes 120 medium format film; Glazers Camera store in Seattle has a good selection of 120 film. 120/220 film is the only medium format film is still mass produced today and is the only type of medium format film that remains popular. Usually on old cameras like this it is the 1 second shutter speed that goes…
I wasn't in Norway, but I was pretty close. I did a trip to Stockholm Sweden this past August. It was a really great experience. Stockholm is a really nice city. And a poorly compressed panorama of the water front in Stockholm. These were all shot with my d90. I also did some shooting with my Grandpa's old Yashica FRII -…
Seaseme, its probably what rube said, your camera is probably at a higher ISO setting than you need it to be at during the daytime 100-200 is a good ISO setting and will have hardly any noise, if at all. The way ISO settings work with digital cameras is much like that of ISO/ASA film speeds. The lower numbers are what is…
DaBeast: For $250-300 you can get either a Canon EOS 20D, or a Digital Rebel XT(350D). The 20d will cost a bit more, but if you're patient you can get a good deal for one on ebay. Usually you can even find them with the 18-55mm kit lens, but if not, you can pick up a variety of cheap lenses to go with it from ebay as well.…
Some more shots with the Rolleiflex, still trying to get a feel for the camera, and for film in general. Developing B&W film at home is something I'm going to start doing; I have a second bathroom in my apartment that has no windows which is convenient so I can completely block it off from light. I find the experience of…
First off let say this, I've been using film and digital SLRs for about the same time(which is not long, and i am no expert) however, I feel this gives me a pretty balanced perspective on the pros/cons. I buy/sell film equipment on ebay in my spare time, so i've been forced to do quite a bit of research on various camera…
EQ sorry for my post ending up sounding like- film is way better than digital thats deffiantly not where I wanted it to go, I mean if I was hardcore I would develop prints and post them to everyone instead of scanning them in . And plus life is too short for those kinda arguments. One of the reasons I like to play around…
Thanks dude! And btw, I agree with what you said regarding Pauls photos, what an inspiration! And most of them are in my ref folder. I don't know a lot about photography really, only the basic about fstop, shutter speed and not a lot more than that. Even my lenses are pretty basic. (That reminds me, I need to start…
Yeah i didn't mean to imply that you were... implying, that film was better than digital or anything like that, I just got a little carried away nerding out about this stuff! When it comes to Canon dSLRs this is what you really need to know: XXXD Series is the entry level, small uncomfortable bodies, not very good…
