  1. I'm intrigued by how younger "never-used-film" photographers feel about film. This is not about film v digital by the way. I now use digital in addition to film, but all my most-treasured photos are slightly blurry and undersaturated colour prints from my childhood (1960s and 70s). I was given a Kodak Instamatic 33 in about 1970 - and still remember taking the 126 cartridges to Boots and waiting (with excitement and anticipation) for a couple of days to see the results. I knew a photo was good when someone said "Oh that one came out well!" - fond memories.
  2. I'm a little bit nervous about posting on this forum, even after 35 years in photography (film, wet darkroom, digital and 3 years learning film photography at college). I still have a lot to learn, as I'm embarrassingly reminded sometimes. Currently have: Lonsdale Brothers (British) mahogany half-plate field camera, about 1895, Fujinon W 135mm f5.6 in Copal 1, shoot on 4x5 Mackenstein (French) Walnut 18x24cm tailboard, about 1900, Rodenstock Sironar-N 240mm f5.6 in Copal 3 RB67 Pro S with 65mm f4.5 Sekor C Canon EF with 28mm f3.5 & 135mm f2.5 Fuji S9500 Nikon D70 Nikon D100 x2 Nikon D5000 x2 Nikon 18-70 kit lens x2 Nikon 18-55 VR Canon EOS 10D x4 Sigma EF 17-50 f2.8 OS & Gandolfi Minor tripod - carries everything, although the huge "Big Mac" wobbles a bit due to weight. ...so not much variety there then...
