Hi Everyone,
First post, thanks for all the threads. I've learned a lot. I'm a noob myself but grew up watching my Dad be a photographer for a living. I recently got into his old stash of cameras he would use for small shoots. Included is:
Bodies: Canon F1, Canon AE-1
Lenses Macro FD 50mm 1:3.5, FD 50mm 1:1.4, Extension tube FD 25 (not sure what this is for), FD 24 mm 1:2.8, FD 35mm 1:2.8, FD 200mm 1:4, FD 300mm 1:4.
There are also various filters.
So my question is what should I start out with? I live on the boardwalk and would like to take pictures of my friends surfing and the sunset. Also I'm a big motorcycle (old cafe racers) enthusiast who would like to take some pics of some friends bikes.
What is the macro lens used for? What is the extension tube for?
Also I recently snapped a couple of rolls and took them to CVS for development. I was going to just get negatives but they said they can just put them to CD so I did that. I am loosing anything by having them scan the negs opposed to me scanning them with my flatbed and film adapter?
Thanks so much for reading my post and thanks in advance for your answers (if you don't mind helping out a noob )
