simple question, will using my N80 fog the Maco films, im curious

because they have an extended sensitivity range which extends into IR,

and i know for a fact that my N80 fogs HIE

 

im not going to be using Cube and R3 for IR but i just want to make

sure i don’t mess it up in the process

Damon Kirschbaum: I have the d70 and ive printer up to 24x36 and it looks stunning,

 

IMO either wouuld be fine, personally id go with the D70 because its newer, or wait for the S3

Thumbs+, ACDSee and Adobe photoshop Album will all do what you want them to do, Personally i use Thumbs+, I like ACDSee also, not a fan of PS Album

freestyle ships outta NJ, I ordered mine on 3/26 it shipped on 3/30 and was here on 4/1, i dont have it yet because it shipped to my house and im at college, they would only ship to the billing addy of my CC, but it will be here on monday, my mom said it looked fine when she got it but she didnt open it

and from the look of freestyles website you can add it to you card and doesnt say they dont have them, id give them a call and see, that is what i did

try http://www.freestylephoto.biz/ ni got mine from there and they had a bunch of kits left when i ordered it, it shipped to me in 1 day also

 

check B&H and adorama in teh next 2 weeks as well and Ritz and Wold camera they should be getting their shipments in about then

start with 2x 512 cards, and if you need more then that buy them later, i just got 2 512s for my D70 which should be here today, if i need more space ill get more cards

its not a camera problem BECAUSE that picture i showed you was NOT run through a camera at all

here is another scan of a section of teh negative, scanned on a

flatbed scanner inverted and equalized in photoshop so you can

see the mark<div></div>

the reason i dont beleive it is a processing issue is because i do

not use the same take and reel every time, i just grab one off of

the shels, also if it were a problim with the tanks teh other 14

peopel in my class woudl also have the same problim, which

they do not. I talked to a friend of mine who has done darkroom

for 30 years and he thought it coudl be a bressur mark of some

kind, but because of the regulairity of the mark he is doubtfull that

i coudl have coused it in teh pattern that it is,

 

I have taken 2 different rolls of film and lined them up to see if the

marks match, and THEY DO, matching the frame numbers lins

the marks up nearly exactly, the start and end in teh same places

but some are longer at places then others, the marks get darker

as the film number increase, it is barly noticable at fram 1 but

really defined at frame 36<div></div>

Hey all, I?ve been shooting for a while and just recently have come

across an issue with HP5, I shot a bunch of rolls for an assignment

and after i processed them I noticed a line through the center of

almost all of my shots, it appears dark on the negatives and light on

the prints, so one would assume that light is hitting the negative

sometime before its processed, because it is not a chemical issue.

 

When I first saw this I figured it was my camera, so i took the roll

of film that was in the camera out I had shot 13 of 36 exposures and

processed it to see if it happened there also. after I processed the

film the line was there again in the exact same place on all of the

frames, and to my surprise it appears on shots above 13, all the way

to exposure 36, This lead me to believe that it wasn?t the camera at

all, so I processed a roll of film that i hadn?t shot, just took it

out of the box and developed it, and yes the line is there also, brand

new roll of film has this line through all of the frames above 10 the

line goes horizontally through the frames in exactly the same place,

 

Seeing as that last roll showed it and it was not shot at all, it

cannot be my camera and must be the film, so I?m guessing I just

received a bad batch of film from Ilford? It only happens on the rolls

of 36 that I have not the rolls of 24, I will post a scan f one of

then in a few so you all can see it,

 

Now I?m wondering what I should do, I have 8 more rolls of HP5 that

I?m afraid to shoot, should I contact Ilford? And if so what do I tell

them?

if you cant print Tiffs on your printer save it to a Tiff file and then open that TIFF and SAVE AS a Jpeg, you cant go from raw-jpg you have to do raw -> tiff or psd -> jpeg

 

actually you should just do raw -> PSD and print from there. PSDs are uncompressed as well and they work pretty much everywhere

well i went ahead and just got both, ordered teh D70 kit shoudl be here in 10 Days, and i got the Sigma Lens from B&H Used in mint condition for 100$ less then new, so im happy, better to have teh lens now then want it later and have to pay more for it

Kevin,

 

Thats kinda funny cause i ordered on from Ritz and they said they were expecting them the 3rd week in april, so i went searching, freestylephoto.biz had it instock online so i called to make sure and ordered one, i dont mind the shipping id rather pay a lil more for it then have to wait a month, amyway im psyched, cant wait for it to get here

its actually a pretty sweet lens, its buily well and takes really good pictures, i debated getting it also because i just ordered a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 for my film camera, but i ordered it anyway because if i found out i wanted it later it would have cost more to buy alone then with the kit

freestylephoto has the kits in stock, have a few actually i just called and ordered mine

Shun:

Thanks for teh advice but i dont think ill ever stop shoting film, for BB&W at least, i just love the dark room too much, ivebeen shooting non SLR digital for 2 years now and use film just as much, i am holding off on the film body i just wanted to get some opinions, hopefully ill be in art school next year for photo and ceramics, which is why i want to get a higher quality body

Dont worry about those G lenses factoring into the F90/F100 question i don�t plan on keeping for any longer then i have too, I already stated that im getting the sigma to replace one of them, and when and if i start needing the use of a longer zoom lens ill replace the 70-300, but for as seldom as i use it its fine, it came with the N80 and actually takes decent pics in good lighting, that aside more opinions are welcome,

 

as someone states the lens that comes with the D70 cant be used fully with a Film SLR and that bothers me a lil bit, which is why i considered just getting the sigma

Hey All

I will be purchasing a D70 relatively soon, once some user reviews and

such get out, I�m just wondering if its worth getting the lens that

comes with it, I currently have a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 , 28-80 F3.3-5.6 G

and a Nikkor 70-300 F4.5-5.6 G. I plan on ordering either a Sigma -

24-70mm 2.8 EX DF when I order the D70 to replace the 28-80 Nikkor,

 

Knowing this should I get the lens that comes with the D70? I don�t

need that extra wide end that much and the 36-105 equiv the sigma will

yield on the D70 will be fine, The price comes out to be about the

same for either lens combo, I�m just wondering if you think its worth

the extra $$ to get the included lens also?

 

Another question: I want to upgrade my N80 body to something more pro

like, I�m looking at either a used F90 or used F100's, seeing as a

used F100 costs 2x what I can get a used f90 for should I get it or

just bite the bullet and go with the F100 because its newer and will

be up to date for longer?

yea i dont see it being any more expensive then 2K at most, most likely around 1500 if they want to sell them

when are we gonna know a price for this thing? and when is it gonna be

available? i want to know because if its reasonable ill get one

instead of a D70

I recently used mine in maine weather was -40F and it was fine i shot all day, wind chill was pushing -100F, i was skiing and when i wasent shooting it was in my bag, i didnt notice ant issues, my digital had issues tho

the D100 cant do ISO 100, the lowest it will do is 200, just like the D70

 

yes no mirror lock up will be annoying to some, also it has a Pentamirrir instead of a pentaprism like the D100 has, i beleive it has a slower AF drive as well, and the build is plastic but that is really a personal issue.
