<p>Thanks for everybody input, its helped me alot and there is some very good advice here. I think if i sold off my current camera piece by piece i cold get probally more than i paid, how much more i dont know, maybe a few hundred bucks.<br> I think i should try negaitve color and E6 and see the results and if i really like something i may pay to have it scanned. I will mostly shoot BW, i love BW, but my current living situation wont allow me to do my own printing like i used to do. I think if i sell off my camera and get 1000 dollars, i will still have to throw in another 1000 min to get something Worth while in digital.<br> I think the best move is to wait for my camera to arrive here in Paris and shoot 3or 4 rolls of Velvia and BW and c41 color film and try prints, try the scanning thing and go from there. I thiink to try it our for 30 days or more to see how i feel about is probally best. I will be selling off some of my lenses though, i dont need that many lenses for landscape, so the 250mm and probally the 65mm i will sell off. I think i will sell off the grip that goes with it to.</p>

<p>I have the GS1, i have the 50mm 65mm 100mm 150mm and 250mm lenses. I also have 2 6x7 backs, the grip that mounts to the body, flash, filters, all the lens caps.<br> Yeah i see that full frame 35mm is not cheap, and i would want a pretty good one, i just dont have that much cash right now.</p>

<p>Well thanks for all your answers, im getting a good idea how this scanning and digital stuff works. I think for me i love film, but the cost of devolping film and then scanning the good shots sounds exspensive. I dont have the cash for a good full frame 35mm dslr, so i think for now i m going to have to go with film.<br> Can somebody ballpark me how much it would cost to get into a budget full fram 35mm, just a simple basic setup for the start, remember i want to do landscape, portraits. I have already purchased my bronica,, but if i had to i would resell it, i think i could get back what i paid, but that dépends on the cost of a full frame 35mm.</p>

<p>Im now thinking a full frame Nikon or Cannon 35mm digital camera is going to be very close to what im going to get and i dont have to spend a wadd of money of film and processing and scanning. I will have to put up more money up front to get the full frame camera though.<br> I just bought a bronica gs1 with 5 lens, grip, lens filters, 2 6x7 backs, flash all in mint condition for 700 dollars off eBay, but im not sure now it was the right choice. I think the film, scanning, and that will end up costing me alot more in the long run.</p>

<p>seems like not alot available. My other question is will i get better 16x20 prints from a 6x7 format camera and film, or from a good 35 mm digital camera, like a 24 mega pixel camera.</p> <p>How does medium format 6x7 stack up to 35mm digital, i want to shoot landscapes, and some portaits. I have been out of photograpy for 15 years so.</p>

<p>I new to the forum,i have been out of photography for alot of years and am now getting back into it. Im wondering what kind of 120 film is still avaiable. I want to shoot slide film, what is still available in this day and age, i know velvia was the best thing made back when i was into photography, and help would be great thanks.</p>
