Whoops, should check before I post :nono:

I'm using it with a tamron 17-50mm 1.8 most of the time, and it is lovely compared to the 10D it replaced :D
 
it's easy - take a 40d, brake it into pieces, take the sensor out, replace it with film loading facilities etc. hmm.. what else. job done I think . the service will cost you 29.95 , but I can't guarantee that it will work. as a matter of fact - it would be a miracle if it did :D

I was just kidding obviously.

trying film can be very dangerous actually. you might never come back from it :D

I know ;)

I'm thinking film could be a cheaper option to have a play with full frame and see if I prefer it over crop, which could turn out to be a very expensive decision :help:

Yes it is, one pentax spotmatic later and I'm pricing up Canon 5Ds do replace my 20D!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
 
Like I said ^^^ up there - EOS30 or 33V - works with any of the non digital-crippled lenses you may have. :)
 
yup ! it's a dangerous road.


I've ended up with a digi compact and film cameras. although I wish I could grab myself a sony nex5 to replace my current digi compacts.

Is that 35mm or 120 :D

Sadly though, now you are in here (F+C) you may never leave completely... and the bug will get to you....

The film back for my 40D is a EOS 650 with 35-70 stuck on the front. Its good but not as good as an Oly OM2-sp with lots of lovely little primes! I quite want a new MF toy though. I think my dad may have a lubitel knocking round somewhere that may need a try to see if a more 'serious' purchase is needed! Not that the wife lets me...

Jim, if your wife has more than 2 pairs of shoes, you can point to that :LOL:

Tried and failed. Those things just breed and even imposing 1 in 1 out rules doesn't seem to work. Its very depressing as I only have 4 cameras in total and one of those is a compact that I never touch! Oh well!
 
Um. I've been a naughty boy with that auction site again and bought an Oly XA1 with an A9M flash and a Canon FD 70-210 f/4 with a nice leather case.

£10 each. I couldn't resist. :whistle:

My wife (bless her) lets me have a little pocket money each month and along with money from b'days/Xmas I can get whatever I want whenever I have the cash. Works well as I have to save and be patient and she doean't have to beat me with a yardbrush for spending the housekeeping..... :LOL::puke:

Nice f/4 Biotar on that site for £20 bin today... still there last I checked!

(Pity it's in two halves though :( )

Tenkew - thanks as I said to Ujjwal for finding it for me, and at a very nice price too. The filter threads a little iffy but I got a UV to fit so all's well there. A very nice example with a bright and outrageously-large viewfinder at 1:1 - means you can use it with both eyes open :D

Delmonta TLR - shows some pics in flickr. the colour rendering is not good at all. major PP required, but I like the swirly bokeh :) .

bad in sunlight, but could get something out of it if cloudy etc. the sharpness seems ok. but then again - it's medium format .

My thoughts too... looks like it goes under the knife

You can also justify further purchases towards film buy using old MF lenses on your new 40D. I wanted a better prime for my 20D so bought a couple of pentax M42 Super Takumar primes, a 50mm f1.4 to replace my canon nifty fifty, then wanted something a bit wider so got a 28mm f2.8 Olympus OM and OM-EOS adapter (currentley in classifieds, shameless plug). Then wanted something longer and bought a super multi coated Takumar 135mm f3.5 (cracking lens for £30), then a super takumar 35mm f3.5 and the list goes on. eventually I decided to get a spotmatic as its what they should have been on originally and its great.

Well I have the ESII and enjoy shooting on film. just MAYBE when my darkroom gear turns up and I can dev my own film I might stick with film and not bother with the 5D. £6 to dev and scan at jessops eats into the new toy fund a little heavily.

how much does it cost to develop a film DIY??

Develop only? BW about 50p, usually less - assuming you have the tank and so on. Colour C41 about £1.20 I think, long time since I bought the Tetenal.

Since declaring I was thinning out the collection yesterday, I have managed to become the new owner of a mere four cameras. I think I might be seeing the end of the tunnel :D

No, it's just a post office van making another delivery.

How very very true - Not said a word about the CL have I?
:wave:
 
My second, professionally ab/used, f90x turned up yesterday. Not in that bad a condition really and fully functional. The rubber is worn on the back, a common problem. The eyepiece was missing with some damage to its mount, but I'd ordered a new one and stuck that on, so now you'd never know. Gave it a decent clean and it looks presentable.

Loaded it with Portra 400 NC, XP2 in the other body and I'm good to go!

wow ! it looks somewhat believable.

You have to be quick for the bargains on Gumtree,....for me:- Epson V750
with original boxes, down to a rocket blower...also scanning programs that I have now registered in my name...all for £90.

and

FTB with 28mm, 50mm and 135mm lens plus 3 close up lens attachments..£10 the FTB was very stiff to use and needed servicing and I eventually strained the winding mechanism and threw it away.

and

Epson scanner 2480 for £8, scanned over a thousand negs with it and use it mainly for copying on my 2nd computer.

and

Well I didn't bother with the AF Minolta 700 ;)
 
epson v750 for 90 ? whooot ??? they cost 600 new. WOW !!!!

af minolta 700 , you mean 7000 ? I just paid too much for one, almost half of your v750 money ! :LOL:
