I shoot 35mm sometimes. I like the way it renders natural light a lot, but the hassle of developing and scanning has pushed me far away. I have some stuff I shot on 35 (not much) here: http://sprocketpictures.com/williamrobinette/images/photography/index.html

on my website, most of the photography section comes from film scans

Some months ago I sold my Canon D30 because of switching from Canon to Nikon lenses because of my 35mm adaptor. So I got these beautiful lenses, new Voigtlaender 58 1.4 and the Nikon 85 1.4 AIS but no camera. Today I was able to borrow a nice Nikon F3 and took quite a few pictures on a Fuji Superia 200. I am really excited about the results.
Before the D30 I shot quite a bit of film, and I recently rediscovered it while being in Paris for a few days.
I can't really tell, it's just a difference photography feeling, at least for me. I work way more carefully and thoughtful. Also the results just feel different. I think it's the film grain, the different DOF of fullformat, the colors... it's just a special look...
I am really excited to see some other folks stuff here!
Hopefully I can show some results pretty soon as well.
How do you guys digitalize your shots?
Best,
Max

I still have a special place in my heart for film... I picked up a Mamiya 645 medium format camera for cheap last year and occasionally shoot some landscapes with Velvia 50. Yum!
I also have an old Nikon FM10 from my college days. Been meaning to strap a Zeiss ZF on it and go shoot some film. I miss the simplicity.

So I am done shooting quite a bit, not it is time to digitalize.
At my school, we have a negative scanner, but I only gained access to it for this one time and probably not in the future, since they are closing this section down (what the...).
Anyways, what I would like to know: What is a good workflow of analog photography combined with PS postproduction?
I figured having a film develope, get prints, choose the best pictures and scan the negatives somehow works nice, but also gets really pricy.
How was the workflow when it was all analog?
Let's say in a newspaper. Did they get prints from every negative and chose the pictures, or did they only shoot reversal film, select the pictures and then go for it?
Just trying to figure out economical way...

I wish I could rock a medium format, but money restricts me from doing so. I am thinking about picking up a Holga for the heck of it. Ironic that today I am selling my slr. I plan on picking up a nice 35mm or medium format when I can afford, but right now it's just much to expensive for me.

Why shoot film when you can use the latitude from the Fuji S5 pro?
Test shot i took the other day. It isnt perfect, but it is hard not to be impressed.

yeah holgas are really cool and fun. This may no be cheap but i saw a guy sellin a mamiya 330 for 399.00. I love that camera for close ups.
kool pic, i've used a couple fuji's. but quality wise they dont compare to medium format film. but i do love digital too in a different way. I really dont want this to turn into a digital vs film thread.
I think i didnt write the correct title to this thread, i meant "Please post pictures" here
I'm loving some film. I picked up a Nikon N90s and a 20mm f/2.8 to shoot some landscape stuff on my vacation. Gotta love KEH too. Since they were just around the corner from me, I was able to pick up an awesome film camera for $31.
i wish i had KEH around the corner from me
i have adorama but they are no where close to the service ive seen from KEH.

I'd like to see if I can address this w/out getting into the digital vs. film stuff. I think everyone here understands the attributes of digital. I think that we sometimes forget the things that film can bring to the picture. There are a few full frame digital cameras, but that is one advantage of film. With my N90s and 20mm f/2.8 I can get some awesome wide shots. It has about the same FOV as my D200 with a 13mm lens. Plus it can sometimes be difficult to reproduce the beauty of B&W 400ASA film or the color saturation of Fuji Velvia 100.
I think we all love digital. I love my D200, but I think the technical know how of taking a picture can be applied to film and be just as beautiful and in most situations provide a higher quality end product (esp if you want to do large enlargements).
If I had a real pair on me I would have bought a medium format camera, since the intention of my 35mm is only for landscapes. Their quality and sharpness is not met by an of the digital SLR's for sure.

I consider myself lucky in that respect.

Hey guys... 7 pictures of my first 35mm project.
Film: Fuji Superia 200
Camera: Nikon F3
Lens: Voigtlaender 58mm 1.4, Nikon 85 1.4
Shot with available light and a reflector, negative scanned on a Nikon LS-2000
Please let me know what you think, criticism always welcome, I am eager to learn!
Ah, I forgot: This was in a photography class, portraitures, topic: "The day I told her"
Thanks,
Max.
