The Good & The Bad

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 8:39 AM
Having this film camera is great. But there are also bad things to balance out the good. Let me explain.

The Good
- The lenses are fast. Stopping down to 2.0 on the wide-angle lens and 2.8 on the telephoto, it's magic.
- Everything is just more manual. You, the photographer, are more in control. It's liberating, coming from an almost all-auto camera. >.<
- I like the color I get from the film/lens combinations.
- It forces me to be sure of what I'm photographing. If I'm not, I don't take the picture so as I don't waste film.

The Bad
- Developing costs. There's really only enough money in my budget for printing of 4x6s. That leads to scanning detail that doesn't really exist in the print. Bah, Humbug.
- Film costs. It's not that bad, but that's opposed to the thousands of images I can get from my Canon at highest quality for free.
- My Crappy Scanner. As you can see in my images, there are blue splotches here and there. That's from the scanner; the film and prints are fine. If anyone knows a way to correct that without endless cloning/smudging, let me know. Please.

But I'll be cutting through all of the bad to continue bringing all of you more of the good. :)
