Hey guys, iv wondered for abit now if i have an slr and a dslr and shoot both with the same settings would i get the same picture once printed or would they differ, ie with technology etc, id like to try film shooting but dont have vast amounts of cash to throw at film etc.

so my plan was to shoot with digital (can delete etc) and then set the slr to similar settings to see what i could do..

its just an idea and mainly because my old man has an slr with a few diff lenses where as i only have the d90 kit lens 18-105 and a 50mm 1.8.

Cheers chaps and chappettes
 
Assuming your camera's set to the same ISO as the film in your 35mm SLR, then theoretically your images should not be any different.

If the film speed is different, then you just need to adjust to compensate. If your DSLR says 1/500th @ f/8 at ISO200, and you're using ISO50 in your film camera, you'll need to open up to f/4 or drop your shutter to 1/125th of a second.

It's no different really to what people used to do with Polaroids when shooting medium and large format to test lighting, etc. :)
 
Yes paul, the settings in theory will be exactly the same. The combination of aperture and shutter come from the available light falling on the subject which does not change what ever equipment you use. Only thing we did with slr's was to slightly underexpose slide film so as not to burn out high lights and to very slightly over expose using film. You should have no problem using the settings from your dslr.
 
Paul, if you want to have a play with film I have a basic SLR you can have if you want it. Its a Centon K100. Someone gave it to me because "you're into photography". I have no intention of using it so it may as well go to someone who will.

Its got a flash unit with it and the instruction book but i cant confirm if it actually works but i'm lead to believe it was working when it came my way. PM me if you want me to email you a copy of the intructions to see if its any good to you.
 
Oh forgot to say there is no lens cap with it as i nicked it when i lost my Nikon one.

thanks guys, hmm seems i need to do some more reading into film types then but hey i can only give it ago.

Is it cheaper to get a "basic" dark room setup (we have an unused room that could be converted) and do your own or if unexperienced just take it to boots etc?

Sorry for all the questions

Notts dave that would be much appreciated, id give a donation to the club and could always colect as notts isnt a million miles awy, plus could try and arrange it so i can see my mate in mansfield :D il drop you a pm
 
Collection would be fine. If Paul doesnt want this i'll be putting it up for free if anyone else is interested.
