And the budget at the time, of course. That being said, my experience of an upgrade has almost always been a downgrade…within or outside the brand.

Could not agree more. I started out with FP4 in the early 90’s and I have never been disappointed with my results. Technique often but never the film. Given how I operate I will quickly end up with 10+ film variants and 4 or more developers…so…for B&W I limit myself to FP4, PanF and Tri-X400...

Yep…nothing is perfect. Purely a matter of finding one with the smallest number of “issues” you can live with. Unless it is a Sony…THOSE must be avoided at ALL cost.;):sneaky::ROFLMAO:

Nowadays I mostly shoot my 5D1 or film and my 4 and DsR pretty much sit in storage. I bumped into Gary Gough’s youtube channel…if you dig deep you will find a video where he shows the high ISO banding of the 3 exactly as I found with mine. I am too scared to test my 4 for fear of finding the...

Only ever had joy with my Canon bodies from 350D and 10+ bodies later I have 3 and plan to grow the number…definitely no R ever though. Brief flirt with the X-T3, went back to a 5D1. Had to use a Nikon D700 at work for a year or 3…liked it… But for digital I will deffo stick with Canon D-SLR...

Of all the 5D bodies I have owned and still own, the 3 is my least favourite by a country mile. I should have “settled” for the 2 at the time… What was your experience of the 3?

Well, that was 2018…:p Right now my mission in life is to hoard as many Canon 5D1 and Pentax K-1000 bodies… Oh, and Pentax-M lenses…;)

Mother Goose, we practically sing from the same song sheet and even verse & line… I had a brief fling with a Fuji X-T3 but returned to Canon due to some technicalities in the image quality which made me return to Canon. I really like the Fuji for the retro look and all that. It is a great...

I hear you and I agree that the technology in the new mirrorless bodies are amazing but, me personally, I would never buy a mirrorless system…just REALLY dislike the gadgetry…

I have PLENTY homework ahead of me…

Yep…boy and DO I know GAS…;)

Why not consider a good used D700?

Mirrorless?? That is a HELL NO from me…but that’s me… My late model 5D bodies sit rarely used while I shoot my 5D1 often… Hang on to that D90.

I do believe a GOOD high-res scan challenges a few of those laws…with that being said, in my early days of film shooting all I knew was a handful of jumbo prints from the 1 hour lab…

So, just to be clear…DO you like Sony cameras or not?:p
