Just wondering if anyone has any infomation on what stills camera Jack Cardiff used to photograph Audrey Hepburn (see link below). I've been looking around and can't find anything out about what stills cameras he uses, just motion...

What do you think about the F4? Would this be better for concert photography as it has autofocus? :)

Oh I didn't mean to come across like I'm doubting your advice or anything, just interested in seeing the results :)

Can I see some of your shots? :)

These cameras seem to be pretty damn cheap on Ebay, I was looking into doing some concert photography, and I want a new body to work with (film). I was thinking of getting a Nikon F3, but I just noticed my friend is selling his Canon EOS 3000, which has automatic focus, it's like a digital...

So to begin taking shots at shows, lets assume the lighting is fairly constant, just washes on stage, not too much movement, what would you all recommend with the F3? Ilford film? 3200 iso? For taking shots of the guitarists and singers (assuming they don't move, at venues near me theres no room...

Is there a reason why prices can't be discussed outside the classified's section? Or is that just how it goes..?

Ah okay, thanks John, I'll be out all evening but hopefully it'll still be there when I get back! :)

Can I ask for the price, then wait for it to go on the classifieds section, then ask to buy it? :P

Someone mentioned to me that I won't be able to start out doing concert photography with film because promoters/bands deem it too unreliable and only want digital, would you say this is true? I love the look of film too much to just give it up for digital (not to say digital is bad)

Would you say the F3, depending on the film and lens of course, would be suitable for low-lit concert photography?

I can pick up an FG20 for about £75 and an F3 for about £120, I plan on using a Lensbaby Muse with it, and for standard I'll be using my Carl Zeiss lens So, which body do you all think is the better?

Yeah, I was thinking about getting this one http://www.parkcameras.com/11815/Lensbaby-Muse-LBMPC---Canon-EF--Plastic-.html?referrer=Froogle++&utm_source=google&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=pid11815 which is a Canon EF mount, so I'm guessing this adapter would be fine? ...

Saw this just now, are SRS a good company? I don't mind (in fact, I prefer) it being just the body as I'd be putting my own lenses on it anyway, the lensbaby tilt-shift lens and my Carl Zeiss lens that I use on my AE1
