Originally posted by GeneV You have a great rig for learning film. enjoy, and decide you like moving to 30 year old film equipment before investing in more.
Oh... I definitely like it.... It has a very different 'working speed' to it... On my K-x I kinda just try things out and review on screen til I get what works... The ME-Super makes me slow down a lot... Really work on good angles, composition and dof...
May have also accidentally ebay'd a k1000, MG and a second MEsuper (first one was all black) really just because they look so sexy!!!
Student loan has taken a kicking!!
Originally posted by PGillin Ilford, while good, is quite expensive. For something that has the same level of quality control and consistency, at a lower price, which will allow you to shoot (and thus learn) more I would recommend Kentmere.
Cheers... I'll deffo look into that...
Originally posted by GeneV You mention the 40mm pancake, and I am also currently addicted to the 40mm FL on film. For me, it is the closest thing to my natural field of view.
Yeah, I've got a 28mm f2.8 and a couple 50's (1x f1.7 and 1x f2 which I find nowhere near as sharp!)... The 28mm is often too wide and the 50mm... Just not quite wide enough... Just missed one (40mm) there are a few more in the next few days I'm watching tho...
Cheers again all for the replies and support
