  • I need glasses but never wear any so cant focus on things more than a meter or two away... so a manual focus SLR is useless for me. I'm semi tempted to wear glasses but I had a look at my OM10 today and I can't even remember how to use it...

    Why shoot on slide? I used to about a decade ago but I only did that because people told me to and I could do emotional slideshows on the walls of my flat. I'm quite keen on having prints but can slides be scanned like negs so I could get slides and a CD of digi scans back? Totes noob question...

  • Why shoot on slide?

    • you could do slideshows in amazing quality
    • slide film has a different "punch" and is crisp / fine a different way than negative film is

    Yes.

  • Ok cool. Thanks again Tina. COuld you share some links to some slide film you would recommend? Prob looking for some crazy ISO 50 or something... Use the Hexar for beauty shots and have a GR1 loaded with 400 for quick and dirty shots.
