Nice idea, Godfrey, to share those samples. I wasn't yet very used to the A20mm on film when I switched to digital and it became a 30mm-lens. So looking at your pics I see that my decision to go with the 16-45 zoom as wide-angle lens was right - just for me. 16mm resp. 24mm on 35-film is just

Well, the 24mm and 50mm on a APS-C DSLR equates to the classic Leica kit of a 35mm and 75mm. So I'd tend to agree with that. I'd personally go for a 16mm and the 50mm, but I do like the 24mm and 100mm combination on 35mm. -Adam Bernd Scheffler wrote: Nice idea, Godfrey, to share those

Kodak publishes development specs for various TMax 3200 ratings, ranging from 800 to 6400. I suppose one could say it's actually an ISO 800 film, but that would be splitting hairs. I have used it quite often at 3200 with good success, although I find it looks much better at 1600. I don't like

The nominal ISO for TMZ 3200 is about ISO1600. But any lab should be developing it by default for the DX coded speed, not the nominal ISO. So the lab guy is being dumb, even if he's technically right. -Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all. Just picked up some 3200 i shot
