We'll see... Yeah, I don't REALLY use it but I think it was fun to play with. Sometime when you have a little time to kill, I'd suggest setting it up and having a play. It's surprisingly good, but again I think it's more for fun than anything else personally.

Dec 09, 2016 17:01 | #4743 Nonnit wrote in post #18208020 I got the Elan 7e, I don't use the eye focus, it fails me from time to time, also I don't trust the outer focus point any more then in other Canon cameras with non cross type points. I have an Elan IIe, and I turned the outer focus points off. I used to just focus using the main center point, then recompose. Never let me down that way. The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it.

I posted a bunch of photos shot on the film a couple of pages ago. I really liked it. It's pretty grainy, but I like that. It's made by the same people that make Ilford so I would assume there's pretty good quality control. Gear: https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?p=18556308

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info Post edited over 6 years ago by Wilt. | Dec 12, 2016 20:12 | #4752 Alveric wrote in post #18183770 Well, I'm puzzled as to 'resolving power'. The images I've taken so far don't look to me as sharp as those made with my digital camera. Wondering whether it's the lens, the camera, the exposure, the film or my developing. Or my scanning. Too many variables.   In the days of film, the magazines used to do lens tests and lenses that could resolve about 64 line-pairs/mm were ranked as 'VGood' and lenses with 80 l-p/mm were 'Excellent', and lenses in the 100-120 lp/mm were 'superb' and very exceptional to read about.
One might be tempted to say we are in the 'superb' part of the test range, if one could truly compare the test values. But enough uncertainty about the test conditions being comparable exists that it is probably dangerous to jump to that conclusion.] Then there is the scanner...a flatbed like the Canonscan 8800F has 4800 dpi in its scan settings for film ...that is about 2400 line-pairs per picture height or 100 l-p/mm. At best it is 30% inferior to the Canon 35mm f/2 on 21 MPixel camera body! You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I went ahead and ordered five rolls (the 20 bucks didn't hurt that bad, hahahah) and I'll give it a try. I like that grainy look anyway.. Hope it likes D-76, cause thats all I can get over here.

Yeah I was shooting HP5 before that, and rated at box speed it's a little boring looking IMO. I'm going around trying as many films as I can just to see if I can find something cool. Instead of ordering 10 more rolls of HP5, I ordered 10 more rolls of Kentmere 400. I have a roll of the 100 that I just loaded up too, I'm curious to see how that goes.

Which means more film right? Saipan, where we proudly put the fun in dysfunctional every chance we get!
