    Maybe she would warm to a camera that looks kinda funky, such as a Minolta Prod 20'S. Image quality will be no better than a disposable, but it can be reloaded.

    True, that is quite a discount, but it took 5 years to get there. But it is an excellent camera.

    A new D7000 is $730 on Amazon. Or you could get a D750, which has superb AF, for about $1,000.

    Ambient light can be reduced by stopping down - assuming shutter speed stays at the sync speed. So flash gives tremendous control over how much of the captured illumination is due to flash and how much is due to ambient.

    You've convinced me that using a higher ISO C41 film makes more sense than push processing. The examples that you showed have distorted colors. Likely because of varying changes in contrast between the color layers of the film. And, yes, I have a color calibrated monitor that displays the full Adobe RGB 1998 gamut.

    I'd stick with Kodak TMax P3200. Color can be tough because of the characteristics of the lights. Fluorescent ain't great, but it's way better than sodium vapor lights.

    D850 vs Z7

    bobbudding replied to bdmott's topic in Nikon

    Sports and concerts - sounds as if high ISO performance matters. Perhaps it would be better to compare the D750 with the Z6.

    Wider primary colors? Sorry, but that's sloppy language, at best. Color spaces are wide. Primary colors are not, even if they are imaginary. Your sloppiness does draw your grasp of the subject into question.
  9. bobbudding
    Not quite. Adobe 1998 RGB is also based on the 3 primary colors, but it has a broader gamut. Working Space Comparison: sRGB vs. Adobe RGB 1998

    Affordable IT 8.7 (ISO 12641) Scanner Color Calibration Targets Kodachrome is a bit expensive. Lasersoft IT-8 Target Transparency Kodachrome 35mm for generating ICC profiles for film scanners, color management - ScanDig GmbH

    You could pick up a 50/1.8 AF lens for about $100. It's an excellent portrait lens on DX cameras.

    If that fails, you might try Zack's Camera repair in Providence, RI. He did a great job on my Olympus RD.

    I bought an adapter that steps down the voltage of an MR9 silver oxide cell. I can't recall the exact price - less than $20, though. It was hand made by Frans de Gruijter in The Netherlands. He will provide additional info for those who may be interested: battery.adapter@online.nl

    Sorry, but I don't know the Ontario camera repair scene. But Mark Hansen, across the border in Wisconsin, does excellent work. ZeissIkonRolleiRepair.com

    Closer to reality than an image captured by sensors and electronically processed. I've still not seen a EVF that's as good as an OVF for my purposes. But I don't shoot at ISO 25600.

    P&S camera prices are a bit nutty. You could buy either a compact Japanese rangefinder, such as the Yashica Electro CC, for far less money that has a faster lens. Or get something a bit larger with interchangeable lenses and use a handheld meter.
  17. bobbudding
    Yes, a battery adapter is the better solution. Thank you for providing links.

    Stephen Gandy wrote a lot of useful articles on rangefinders. just be aware that many older ones that had meters required mercury batteries that are no longer available. But hearing aid batteries will work in them, and will provide the correct voltage. Classic Camera Profiles

    I work from RAW, and all of my jpgs are generated from RAW. So I've never run any tests myself.

    Because I'm in a witness protection program (just kidding!).

    Portra is tolerant of over expose. But underexpose and you'll end up with a muddy mess.

    I gave up on Fuji when they started killing off their black and white films. They have been dead to me for a long time.

    I had Gleb CLA my CS9000 this year. He also provided instruction on how to get Nikon Scan running under Windows 10. I'm very happy with his work.

    I'm shooting a new-to-me Nikon SP this weekend. It's one of the later models with a titanium shutter.

    I shoot B&W film because I enjoy the workflow. Darkroom printing is relaxing, and it gets me away from the damned computer. But I do shoot digital when necessary - indoor basketball lighting is usually dreadful, so I often bump the ISO to 6400.
