<p>Welp time to close my account out of embarrassment.... umm mods please change the title? </p><P><I> Moderator note: Title correction made.</I><P>

<p>WOW I MESSED UP BAD LOL</p>

<p>Hello, I'm a fairly young amateur photographer, and I started off shooting my parent's canon ae-1 a year ago. I learned how to develop film and make prints. When I saved enough money up, I bought digital cameras, first a sony nex 6, which I sold and bought a fuji x100, which I sold and bought a x-pro1, which I sold and bought a d7000. I've found, however, that when I carry a digital camera with me, I feel numb the whole time. Im more focus on that lcd screen than the world around me. I know many of you will scoff at this, but I'm going to sell my d7000 and tamron 28-70 and 50mm 1.8 and put all the money toward film, photo paper, chemicals, and probably a medium format camera. I know ill never be able to do the same thing I could with digital, but i think its much more fun shooting film. Anyone else have a similar experience?</p>

Okay guys so I have decided I can deal with with crop sensors. For wide angle work I can use me Eos 1n. After thinking about it, Crop factor isnt all that bad since it basically turns my nifty 50 into a budget 80. So im now seriously consdiering the 50d or maybe a 7d if I can find a good deal on one. Thanks for all the tips, especially encouraging me not to but the 1d ii, which I was sooo close to buying.

<p>Im considering the 50d now, but I still dont like the crop factor. Although, I found a canon 1d mk ii for the same price as the used 50d, including a battery and the expensive charger.</p>

<p>The x-t series is fascinating to me, but there is the consideration that I only have 1 lens for the X-pro, the 27mm pancake, and 3 well regarded lenses for eos</p>

<p>Ive been shooting the x-pro1 for 6 months now. I have never owned a dslr, but I have a canon eos 1 (film) that I shoot with. The iq on the fuji is absolutely stunning. I was so impressed by it. That being said, I often feel frustrated by it. The focus in any lighting conditions besides bright sun is terribly slow. It hunts fore focus very often. Continuous af is more of a formality than a function. There are almost no third party lenses available. The flash options are few. The lcd screen seems to be as scratch proof as a stick of butter. And finally, even with a grip, it feels so awkward in my hands. Because of all this, I am considering selling my Fuji. As I stated before, I have that film eos 1 with a ef50mm 1.8, a 100-300 f/5.6l, and a 28-70 ii and I find myself using it more often than my x-pro1. I want a digital camera, but I would like a full frame sensor because I dont like the 1.6x crop factors. Another consideration I have is the Pentax K7 and investing a bunch of inexpensive pentax glass. I will be using the money I get from selling the fuji and the lens I had with it, approx $450. Opinions?</p>

<p>Dude thats awesome! I love how your clothes match the camera! yeah the whole 70mm film could be an issue but I dont think it would be impossible to shoot some sort of film in the camera</p>

<p>I seen a few pictures of them, but Ive never heard of anyone owning or shooting one. I would love to see some close up pics and details about it. </p>

<p>Canon Fd 85mm f/1.8 razer sharp, utterly amazing glass. Falls just in your budget for a very good condition one on ebay or keh</p>

<p>hello. I bought a hand made leather wrist strap for my canon ae-1. all seemed well. And then I decided it would look great on my fuji x100. The strap simply ends in a standard key ring, not a string, and I found it is too rigid for me to comfortably grip the camera and press the shutter button. And tips on how to remedy this besides buying a new strap (which is the last option). </p>

<p>Are you asking if there is a change in sensitivity between digital and film?</p>

<p>Im extremely happy that Kodak is doing this. The return of any film format is always good. </p>

<p>I think this belongs more in the Beginner question forum or Mirrorless Forum... that being said, you should consider the Sony DSC Rx100 which I think has qualities of all the cameras you mentioned here: large sensor, decent zoom range etc. They can be had quite cheaply these days on the 'bay or keh </p>

<p>I was wondering just why it is that Canon or Nikon don't make medium format cameras? Im not sure if they ever made one in the film days. </p>

<p>The 17mm f/2.8 seems to have very mixed reviews. From what I saw, some say it is the bee's knees, but others say to avoid it. Which led me to wonder, is the kit lens better? (i just bought an omd em10 body and am looking to buy a lens. My preferred focal length is 35mm)</p>

<p>The first time I saw it, I was quite happy that Leica was entering the FF mirrorless market (yes I know they made the digital RFs but you know what I mean), but then I saw the price tag. $7,450 seemed just a TAD bit too much for a mirrorless camera. Some people seem to blame the price for labor costs, but I don't see there being a 400% price increase over the a7ii just because the camera is made in Germany. Other people cited "exclusivity" being the reason for the price. That statement didn't quite make sense to me. If you want exclusivity, wouldn't you just but a Monochrome or a Correspondent, or hell, and M1? It seems that the SL was designed to be a user camera (it isnt really pretty, or interesting, or classic so I don't think collectors will really covet it), but at that price I think there would very few users. I don't want to start any sort of war in this thread, I just wanted to hear other people opinions on this camera.</p>

<blockquote> <p>I doubt it will be worth anything either. You can get a Minolta Maxxumm 7000(worlds first AF camera) for about $25 on eBay.</p> </blockquote> <p>Not to be a smart *** but wasn't the first available to the public autofocus camera the Polaroid Sonar Sx 70?</p> <blockquote> </blockquote>

The website is called propertyroom

<p>What was the seller? Some of the Japanese used camera stores have multiple locations in various cities, for instance, Kitamura Camera, who has locations in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Perhaps this is the case with your seller, and one store with a central location (such as Tokyo) runs the eBay sales, and handles the shipping and payment and what not while the other stores simply supply the items. That's my theory. I have dealt with Japanese camera stores before, and even visited one in Tokyo, and they are superb. They run their businesses like clockwork and I have never had a problem.</p>

<p>I frequently check a government auction website for cameras, and it seems that there have been a few of these Kodak DCS 760s popping up. Are they worth picking up or are they just run of the mill early dslrs? </p>

<p>The film is Fuji Super Hr-21. And I ultimately bought a Minolta 16 instead of a 110 camera because it made more sense to me because of its manual controls.</p>

<p>So what sohuld I do? Put a strip of the film in a bit of very dilute developer and watch how long it takes? I found a recipe for caffenol lc online. I might just go with that instead messing around with dd-x.</p>

<p>Ok thank you. I think I will just leave it as it is for now until I can get the camera cla'd by a professional.</p>

<p>Hello. I recently purchased a 100 ft roll of fuji microfilm for use in a 110 camera. The only problem is, I have no idea as to what the development times are. I use ilfotec DD-x. How do I find out the development times? </p>
