The simplicity of the camera is a nice break from digital. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

Jul 16, 2011 20:59 | #19 The Bessa 4a is what I am aiming to get before the year ends. I usually use a Spotmatic or Nikkormat. 70% of what I shoot is film. Got a bit bored with digital. The rewarding part of film for me is getiing the composition and exposure right, with out having to check it on the LCD. Now I don't get it 100% of the time, but still I'd say I have more keepers now that I am very mindful of my shots.

I'm waiting for the processing now. After getting used to the T2i, going back to a TOTALLY manual system was a shocker. And, with a finite number of shots on a roll it reminded me how 'casual' I am with taking tons of shots in digital and just weeding out the ones I don't want to keep. Digital can make you lazy. Sorry to hear about your T2i having front focusing issue. Can you develop your film from Costco and ask for DVD option? I'm curious as to how great the film images are when digitized. The IQ is supposed to rival D3X! Steve

As for film I've used Tri-X, Illford XP2, and BW400CN for B&W. I've decided to stick with BW400CN, Tri-X was to much scratch at the labs and XP2 was to inconsistent for me.

Oscroft Member 93 posts Joined Oct 2009 Location: UK/Thailand More info | Jul 20, 2011 16:16 | #27 I still shoot and develop lots of film. I shoot various B&W films, and have a stock of a few hundred rolls in the freezer (mainly APX-100). And E6 too, but I save those until I have about 50 to process, so I can save money by getting the 5L chemicals kit. Alan

I much prefer it to the hipstamatic iphone shots. I do fantasize about a Hasselblad on occasion.
