Welcome to UHH Rob, glad you finally joined us. Used to do 35mm film with my Nikon FTN and Nikkormat. Had the kitchen dark room, chemicals, film canisters, etc. Went DSLR with a Nikon D80 and have not looked back. Now shoot with a Nikon D7100. Give digital a chance.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.
Don
Meives, Dick, Simon, and Frank,
Thank you. You're all making me feel very welcome.
Hi Don,
Those big negs from 4x5 are a spoiler. I've shot digital and, good as it is, it just doesn't compare. Magazine reproduction is such that the difference is minimal but you really notice the difference in book publishing or in 16x20 display prints. Happily, it isn't either/or. I could save a lot of time and hassle by shooting digi most of the time and breaking out the "big gun" when necessary.
