I made that comment because I am an American who visited Venice many times. I have made mistakes. This is one of them. The church and curators prohibit photography for a multitude of reasons. A guard or worker that gave permission was likely not in the position to authorize photography. Typical museum worker in Italy though. Very friendly and willing to bend the rules a bit. Works in favor of the tourist for sure. Still, I never took photos in this place and other cathedrals out of respect. Please follow the rules put in place on pamphlets or other official documents in order to respect such places and other visitors.
Beautiful photos but honestly these photos evoke memories of the hundreds of tourists I've seen in Italy clicking away with their cameras in places where photography was prohibited. Cringe!:lol:

I don't think you are allowed to take photos inside the church... But that is okay, you're not the first American to break rules in Venice. Did you feed the pigeons too? :hmm:

I think it is not sharp because i shot wide open (2.5). Might tighten it up but I really like the blurry background

awesome photos guys and gals.
Can anyone give me a cheap fix to getting rid of water stains? I tried a squeegee. Didn't work well. Is photo flo the only solution? I tried dish soap but water stains still appear. Is a final wash in distilled water the best bet? What about mixing rubbing alcohol with distilled water? I'm a complete newbie to developing. Thanks!

Incredibly helpful. I appreciate it. I am going to try another roll and post back here. In the mean time here is one of an archaeological dig I'm currently part of...
It was quite grainy despite being a well lit photo. I'm thinking my agitation method or probably the fact that I overdeveloped is the cause of the grain. Just a novice guess!

I see. I was very confused. Thank you for the link. Why the developing powder has the times for the older film is beyond me. Do they still produce this older film?

I am new to processing so I wouldn't be able to give you an experienced answer to that. I just followed the directions on the back of the D-76 instructions. I had the powder and the final product was one liter of developer. Here is a link to what I used: Amazon.com: Kodak D-76 Developer Powder, B and W Film 1 Gallon: Camera & Photo
That is the gallon version. It says 9 minutes for full strength. Did I misunderstand the instructions? Please let me know. I posted photos earlier in this thread (1 page back I believe) so maybe you will be able to tell me if it looks over-developed? Thank you!
I thought it would be fun to develop on my own and see results instantly. It is cheaper this way since I already have a decent scanner. Once I become more familiar with the camera then I would be fine with putting the money into having it developed and scanned at a professional lab. Sounds like you went the same way! I am also in college now. Hopefully film is still around in the future... I honestly have been happier with the results of film than I have been with any of my digital cameras. Don't get me wrong...I love DSLRs...but there is something special about film that I haven't quite figured out yet. All I know is that I am having more fun than ever with it.
Just bought a penguin case to fit both my Nikkormat and Pentax Q. I will have to use the Q for my college research. More reliable since I'm a novice with film! I'll keep posting my photos here. Glad to meet others using film! Hope to learn a lot here.

How do you go about developing it? I'm using the same film. Just developed my second roll ever using D-76 diluted (1:1) for 12.5 minutes. I'm a noob to this but I've never had so much fun with photography! Don't think I'm going to bother with a DSLR now! Pentax Q + my nikkormat ft2 is all i need!

I would just like to add to my original post (2nd page I believe) that I am very excited to potentially be an owner of this product. I am dedicated to finding a way to use my Nikon lenses on a DSLR. However, I believe that this wonderful product should go to someone who already owns a DSLR. I do not own one yet. I did plan on buying one but I think it is unfair for myself to submit an entry while I do not own a compatible camera. I would like to drop myself from this contest to be fair in that regard. I will however continue to follow your website and will either purchase the current product or your upcoming WR adapter ring when I do buy a DSLR.
Thank you for bringing this wonderful product to the forums. Good luck everyone!

Can't afford a DSLR so I thought I'd try using a Nikkormat that I am borrowing.
This is my first time developing my own film. Working on refining my process! I scanned the negatives with a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i.

So, just to clarify this won't work on cameras such as the K30/50 or K5, II, IIs?
I am going to purchase a DSLR that will be able to use my Nikon lenses (nikkor p,q, etc). I would really like it to be a Pentax and not a Nikon dslr that I choose.
