PHOTOS PLEASE
Hey, just wondering if you still shoot any B&W film? If so, what are you shooting?Dave wrote:I'm borrowing one from the journalism school here. I've been thinking about getting one. You can pick up a used 'blad for "cheap" on KEH. I'm really liking the square format. Too bad getting it in digital isn't practical at the moment.
I've always wanted a blad but never really crazy enough to invest in it(lens cost). Instead I picked up a used M645 1000s w/prism, 55mm, 80mm macro for less than $900 many years ago. Prior to using this I had a Mamiya 7II w/80mm, 43mm.
I just bought a Nikon flash from KEH for $45(used). That same used flash here is $140 :icon27:
Anyone have any experience with a Pentax K1000? Reason I ask is a friend of mine just bought one for his girlfriend (she's doing some kind of photography class where they only use film, I thought they would switch to digital now days?).
Now apparently according to him and her teacher their an amazing camera which everyone wants. Whereas, from what I gather it's just a good cheap beginner SLR camera, nothing too special. Any opinions? I don't want them to think it's the best camera in the world and waste lots of money on it.
I know hardly anything about film. My Dad used to use film SLRs and I have a few of his old cameras/lenses around but that's generally all I know about them.

I've only ever used Tri-X 400. If I were going to use something else I'd probably use some 3200 film like TMX because I like the high contrast and thick grain it producesFanaticX wrote:Hey, just wondering if you still shoot any B&W film?

Late night Eurostar will cost you £22 to get to the UK. Ferry is your best option if you aint driving as you can get plenty of buses to London then.
France is ok, just full of French people. Only thing that lets it down really
I'm not DB but i am from the same country...

Where were you when the West was defeated?
