Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

Ouch I couldn't live without internet for a day...

Wow John, glad to hear that you are ok!
Dustin, this camera is pretty cool, it can almost do my dishes!

 

[monkeykoder]

Awesome.

I don't want one that will do the dishes, just tune in cable. I know that the D3 will, I just can't find the tuner knobs. It has to get cable, it does everything else!

I bought a new lens today.....but it's one of those lenses I tell people to stay well away from

I bought a Vivitar 70-150 Macro zoom on the M/MD mount.....I'm such a hipocrite, but I needed another lens for the Minolta and I simply could not turn down the $13.77 (USD) with leather carrying case price tag.

I don't think I would have turned it down.

Stupid 50 iso film it is a pain in the ass too slow for anything but bright sunlight (which is what I PLANNED on using it for...)

I'd like to get my hands on some 25 or 50, I have some ideas for double exposures under day light that 100 or 200 simply can not do.

Yeah My poor Minolta XG-1 has just been loafin around with just it's original lens on to it. Have not had much reason to put some film into it...even then, I put a roll of film into the camera after cleaning the lens and shot the whole roll off in under an hour, Have not yet put another one in either


Such a Mint condition camera just demands use

Oh we're not photaholics , we are connoisseurs.

Nothing wrong with being a photoholic just so long as you can control yourself (you know do exposures down to 1/30th of a second handheld)

Bah, control is 400mm handheld at 1/125.

 

[monkeykoder]

So you're still not developing your own B&W yet eh? You really need to get on that now that is control...

lol you got me there, Been a decade since I processed my own film, I might have to go back to the academy....

It isn't like it is rocket science as long as you have a decently exposed negative you can screw up quite a bit and still get something pretty darned printable.
