using the program mode on SFX now.. but still trying to learn how to use the SFX, there's no manual when I bought it and the manual downloaded from the internet is crap.

The auto focusing on sigma/qantaray 28mm-90mm don't work with SFX (did some research about this issue in this forum and other users concur)
and the sigma 55mm-200mm DC doesn't work at all as well. (maybe some cropping as well since this is a APS size lens?), manual focusing might work but i am not sure!! Didn't try.. dont wait to "waste" an exposure..

However the Sigma 28mm-80mm works on SFX.

What's your preferred consumer grade film?

I've just started film photography and since you are also just starting out i think the cheaper the better.. i tried both kodak ultramax 400 and fujifilm superia 400, cant see any difference!

I found out that ebay sells film cheap with 36 exposures from a bloke in Thailand & my local supermarket still sells film relatively cheap too but only 24 exposures. (fuji & kodak ones)

The other thing to worry is developing and printing, the place I go to used to charge $6.95 for 24 exposures but now starting to charge $9.99 starting this month!

anyway just keep looking! Ebay is a good way to start if you dont mind waiting, else try your local supermarket if you need it now!

good luck!

Hi all,

Went back to flim photography recently for a bit of nostalgia, at the same time picking up cheap lenses attached to film body..

Got 2 film body now...

SFX



ZX-7



Question is which one to keep? which one to sell?

Plus for SFX
  • Size & weight, feels like a real camera!

  • Pentaprism

  • Large viewfinder



Negative for SFX
  • Can't use some sigma lens

  • Mostly manual control, coz it's film, picture will not turn out right if use the wrong setting



Plus for ZX-7
  • Lightweight

  • Supports all the lens I have in my collection.

  • Has lots of preprogrammed exposure mode like most point and shoot camera.


Negative for ZX-7
  • Uses Pentamirror

  • Small viewfinder


The thing is I really like the SFX for it's view finder and camera feel but I like the ZX-7 as it is a modern camera and has auto mode which suits a beginner like me!

Also taken 4 rolls of film with SFX with mixed results.. onto first roll of film with the ZX-7 now.. any comments will be appreciated! thanks for looking!
