Hi forum! I'm a newbie, and I've been contemplating on if I should either start with film or digital first, right now I can't afford a Nikon D80 financially. So I'm going to start with the camera I have posted here. Give me your opinions/thoughts, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
It's gonna be tough for you here, among film shooters and some digital voices. No wonder, photographic landscape changed globally from film to computer. Starting photographic hobby today with film is more complicated as the infrastructure for film is heavily depleted; film companies are going under, labs are going under, popular opinion about people shooting film is not favorable. The big question is WHAT is your goal and in what environment you will have to work for that goal. I shoot BW film and sometimes I have to buy it 2-4 thousand kilometers away, I bring my chemicals from a place 1500 km away. And so on. I have no idea where is the closest lab with E6 processing, I know there is no BW lab here anymore. I have to make my own lab, but that is exactly, what I enjoy, pictures are somewhat secondary. So ask yourself where is your enjoyment; is it in processing of a picture or is it in post processing only ? Start with digital is much easier, however later is getting harder (financially mostly as at some point you will be limited by your equipment), start with film is nowadays much harder, but once you create the system is easier (as you don't have to update your equipment every 2 years or so).Hi forum!

I knew this is somewhere."I have no idea where is the closest lab with E6 processing, I know there is no BW lab here anymore."
Timor, if you're talking about TO, what about Toronto Image Works? Best E-6 lab still standing in the GTA.

How I said, local conditions are different here and there, Europe has usually better distribution of services (not only photographic), America is just very big.Thank God i live in the UK where there are loads of labs if you can't do it yourself, I'm going to get some top quality prints done soon by this chap R O B I N***B E L L - Photographic Printer
