Great place to ask for advice etc.
Thanks Mammy. I used to be a pro ... the only thing that matters was the final image ... nobody cares about how you got there. I hear you ... I appreciate the advice ... my plan is to take photos ... of everything.As a fellow user of big, heavy cameras my number one tip is to not give a f*ck, bring it with you even when it seems highly impractical.
LOL ... this thing can swallow a lot of MFT gear. The camera arrived ... still waiting for lenses and backs.Nice to see you getting a "real" camera, Gary. u4/3 is nice, but they ain't going to impress anyone. You turn up with this thing and people will just assume you know what you are doing. And the great thing about film is you don't have to prove it on the spot--you just tell them you need to develop it first.
Now we just need to get you a medium-format digital back for it...
Thanks Thomas. I'm starting out with the 65mm, 135mm and 210mm. Presently, I'm on EBay looking for a Sherpa instead of a chiropractor.Rock on. I have the whole system, 50 - 500 mm. Film has a look that can't be replicated. You just need a good chiropractor after a day in the field.
Yep .... its been a long time since I touched a roll of film. I'm very apprehensive about post development ... scanning negatives and all ... is entirely new. I remember my first time making prints from digital. Man, did I go through tons of paper, ink and time trying to get it right. I hope this goes quicker.I just had a look at your portfolio Gary, lovely stuff, you have a great eye. Can't wait to see what you create with that wonderful Fuji beast. If you haven't shot film for some time I think you'll be amazed by the quality of the latest films like the new Portra and T-Max, I know I was.
For starters, probably Richard's, a custom lab.What will you be using to scan your negatives?
