the 23 yr old SLR strikes again...

Although the crap processing doesn't help...

Need a D70 though... just need to find the funds!

It actually reminds me of 3d renders with that grain.

I actually think you are better learning on a film SLR, it makes you think more about the picture you are going to take, as you can't see it straight away.
I really like the pics, by the way, the grain gives them loads of atmosphere.

Watching "digital picture of britain" this morning and this was really shown by the guy with the Hassleblad H1D. Firing away like there was no tomorrow - literally point shoot, reframe shoot, reframe shoot. Said it meant he really didn't think about his images as much as he normally would.

One thing it did do is make me want an H1D. [homer mode]

Hmmm......... H1D.......

Agree entirely. Film is good training, then you can really appreciate digital and build from there. As I used to say, 'Digital allows you to take shots you don't like and delete them'. Even though shots are now free, if I don't like what I see through the viewfinder, I don't press the button. But the big plus to me is experimentation, eg choosing different apertures.
Anyway Slinky, don't despair, D70s will get cheaper and your savings will go up - and eventually they will meet

My issue with film is the time taken to find out whether you've shot a roll of s**t or taken some nice photo's...

Whilst I love the control that an old school SLR gives me (and that's the exact reason why I nicked the Olympus OM-10 from my dad) I find it frustrating not knowing...

So what I want is the control of my olympus, with the immediacy of a digital camera.. (oh, and maybe a bit of AF )

Yes, but once you've done your 'apprenticship' you pretty much know when you've got a good shot.

Not when you're trying to shoot top fuel dragsters at the top end of Santa Pod when they're doing about 300Mph!!!!

But I know what you mean guys... I'm rather enjoying the SLR side of things, and am quite pleased when I get a 6/24 hit rate...

Have actually considered going to something like a Nikon SLR prior to the D70... keep the costs down but move the tech forward a little...

In my case, I decided to use a DSLR to teach myself, and I figure that I will "graduate" to a film SLR when I get good enough.

Odd but you have a point!
