    YO micah

    Can you put a sticky on this thread so it doesn't get lost in the other threads all the time. I'm working on uploading some pics and i keep forgetting because the thread disappears all the time.

    When you get the film processed, do you get it on a disk? Do you have a scanner?

    If you do, just upload it either from your disk/computer to here (but it will only be visible here) or a place like flickr or photobucket, where it will be there forever.

    What do you setup you shoot with?

    I actually do all the processing and enlargements myself, so I don get a disk or anything
    i have a scanner but its a pos
    what setup do i use? just a regular, 35-mm SLR. i just picked up photography a couple months ago, so its pretty basic.

    I was actually talking about brand, lens et cetera. I do want to get into film myself, but I don't have the money just as of yet. (Obviously Nikon because I already have an assortment of Nikkor Lenses)

    oh, its like a promark 3000? or something? i do know its an old piece of crap i got from my school, but i'm not sure on the brand name. its not a nice canon or nikon or anything.
    as i said, i just started. just has a normal focal length stock lens on it.
    i actually prefer film pictures to digital prints i've seen, you can get much better density in black and white with film i think.
    it is a bit expensive to buy paper and film though, but i think its better.

    tbing is that the 50mm f/1.8D Nikkor lens that you're talking about in these photos? i've been looking into getting one. the small d.o.f. is incredible. and i've heard they're only around 100 bucks?

    Yup :) I compared the 1.4 and the 1.8.

    The 1.4 is a metal body, where the 1.8 is plastic. ~$320 for the 1.4 and you can find one for $100 for the 1.8. Only a partial step wider... which is it really worth it for ~$220? Stopped to around f/2.0-2.5, they are equally sharp. The small DoF is amazing with it. I say just pick it up. Its a great addition for any indoor work or where you want to shoot with just a street lamp.
    I took a shot at night, ISO 400, 1/13s EV +1.7 and no flash, and it came out perfect.

    Only thing, its not AF-S, so if you shoot with a D40, D40x or D60, its MF only. But I don't have a problem with it. But if your body has the autofocus mechanism on it, you'll be fine. They are coming out with a 1.4 AF-S, but its supposed to be in the $400 price range. There is the focus meter on it which tells you approximately how far your focus is. Minimum focus is ~1.5 ft.

    Takes amazing pictures. I recommend it :)

    I really like that HDR, its not overdone, just enough to bring out the highlights and shadows of each object. Well done :)
