Hey everyone,
I am in the process of moving partially away from digital onto film. I am looking at the F100 because I hear it's a good camera. I looked at the F6, while it's nice I don't think I am ready for that yet (I'd rather spend my money on glass). I am also getting really interested in finding older lenses to use with it.
I have two lenses that I want to use with the F100, 50mm f/1.8 AF, and 60mm Micro-Nikkor f/2.8 AF can I use these? I also have a kit lens that came with my D70s, but it's a DX so I won't be using it.
Also do you know of any retailer that has a new or really good used condition camera? I'm not really trusting of ebay (got scammed once, left a sour taste in my mouth).
As for film, I am looking to find some film that can provide excellent color saturation and contrast. Also how long can I keep film the fridge and would the freezer be the best place to store it for long periods?
Last question, I hear that photographers send their film to be developed at certain locations(professional developing?) can someone provide me one that they are comfortable with that I can send to? I live in southern california.
I am not 100% locked into getting a F100 so if there is a different nikon (that can use the 50mm and 60mm) please explain the differences, and if you have any tips for shooting with film please share.
Thanks! :hug::
