What are they hammering on , making holes in wood , or ? I know how to fix some stuff they do , no violence, good information

What " it sounds as if your going to try and shoot film in your digital camera , I know your not , but that's what my brain is reading , if you could it wouldn't have the latitude that digital has you can push a black and white tri x 800 film to a 1600, asa but with digital you can go 200 to way up into the thousands iso, asa . I remember it was a few years back that digital caught up with film , but the sensors they have
Now has surpassed that mild stone .

,,, oh and that's another thing I use nothing but raw nef , if there are things I may want to keep , if I want to send family, I send large
Fine

I thought the poster was asking about BBF , and that's all I ever use , most use it just for action shots , but I have no trouble using it for every shot , and all my sitting birds are sharp as a tac , and my flying shots are 80% better than tickling the the shutter button maybe even
95% better and I just use spot metering , mind you a flying bird is the only thing in screen except for sky, or clouds so what ever else is there besides the bird is moot point, does not matter , and my shots of mountains , Ocean etc are with ar with a f stop of f11 or smaller so they are in a range where every thing is going to turn out most of the time any way , I get my share of blurred ones but that's is just to slow of shutter for most BIF I'm at 1600 to 2100 depend how the light is .

Some people are setting up a small dark room and are using those to develop black and white , and that format is good for that sort
Of shooting , I may even do that myself , I took a course in that years ,there is not much to it ,it's all in measuring amount of developer
Fixer , temperature, timing of solutions, exposer under light , if you get good at it, I'm sure you could make enough to pay for your ongoing
Cost , blowing up black and white of old schools ,church , beach , mountains , land marks in your area ,schools old and new ,
Ocean going love boats, you can sell them to tourist as they get off the love boat have them all made and framed before hand .

You are making it more complicated than it needs to be just set BBF with spot metering , take shot , if not right , take another shot put
Spot on a lighter patch or a darker patch , your not going to get a perfect whit spot and a perfect dark spot and a perfect middle tone
Unless you burn and Dodge, you can just make a few adjustments and pic the one you feel is the best , you can play around in photo shop if your good at that sort of thing .

How is that working for you , on BIF as there changing position ever wing flap , I use cf on every thing , but I also use BBF, on everything
It's the best for both worlds .if it's sitting on a stump not flying I just lift my thumb and take as many in focus snaps as I want, if it's flying I
Just hold my thumb down and take as many snaps or spray and pray as I want . Try that by locking your exposer every shot , it never worked for me , ??

[qote=Uturn]I know that there has been some discussion on this topic before but here goes:

I have an RB 67 ProS system and a Mamiya 645 and I have just about decided to take them to KEH and take what I can get but with the current chatter about Ektachrome coming back I am now more confused than ever.

My intent would be to shot film and scan the transparencies.
I have had some good results scanning my older images -both transparencies and negatives.

I would appreciate any input to help me decide.

Thanks
Bill[/quote] I would keep them , your not going it get much for them now , you should have solid years ago ,when they were worth something you missed by at least 35 years . But if it ever catches on big time or even small time ,any time in the future would better than now , I have a 645 pentax mint shape and 3 lenses flash etc about $5000 with the goodies
Filters and such , I would be lucky to get $2 or $300 : that's what a body sells for now , keep it

Fantastic, you will win , I feel it i told every one Trump will win months , before he did

Tell me what you know about the young ones , when do they go out on there own , what do they do to kill time etc😆

ALL he's saying is if your shooting raw it doesn't mater what setting your using in camera , as it will be captured any way , ln light room or what ever other program your using you can bring it out , that's all , no problemo

If your trying to copy Rockwell, you have to get the blue "blue" that blue
looks white compared to his ,and the yellow has a to get a lot more vivid than that , and that eagle could be brought out more in the chest area, h

Keep that bb loose wolf pp

Buying refurbished by the maker is all most the same as buying a new camera , only it's better than new , the biggest percent of them are
Store bought returned cameras, by people who don't have a clue , have no desire to spend time learning, and snapped a few photos, then
Said I can do this with my point and shoot for one tenth of what this coast, so they take it back , and get the $40 --- $100 point and shoot
Then that camera is returned to a nikon or canon , pentax shop to a licensed place who has the required skills to check out , fix , etc .
In some ways it's better than new , as it's all checked out ,and any thing broken is replaced , and the shutter is replaced regardless as that's
About the only moving part in the camera , and all the screws nuts and bolts that matter checked , tightened, etc , a new camera coming off
The assembly is only checked maybe one in every thousand that gets a going over like these refurbished ones do , they have to sell them at a much lower cost other wise no one would buy them , the only people who buy them are people in the know , like people that belong to a camera club , or know a shooter in the business of camereas one way or the other , the only way I would buy new is if you payed thedifference it would cost me to do so , and every time you buy new this is what your doing any way , a refurbished say a nikon D7200 what is that around $600 , and brand new around $1300 or $1500 , I if you find one and buy it , it will probably last you five or six ,ten years
By then you may ready for another refurbished, I was a naysayer just like a lot of others but I smarten ed up ten years ago. It's just about my turn to get that refurbished D500 no ill Wait tell it's cost is $700 or $800 or less, I'm buying Thoms book on it now though , something to read as the price drops
