It is still possible to find and use an old Hasselblad today. However, they are NOT cheap.

Ffordes Photographic has some Hasselblads and you can buy 120/220 format film. It will cost you about 15...

Yes, they're not invicible. I still remain convinced that if you shoot at least 4 rolls of film a year and give a CLA every 5-10 years an old SLR will last a long, long time. In fact just shooting...

Digital photography is still photography because those pixels are recording light, and whilst a filter may alter that light, it's still recording light.

Digital art should not be considered photography on a linguistic basis. Photography means recording light as opposed to changing the colour of pixels with no real-world equivalent. Digital art is...

Quite right Yelvertoft--which is why most of my kit is actually not far above the 'prosumer' level. You have grasped the wrong end of the stick slightly; I am not saying that kit matters more than...

Obviously, I'm not saying shoot away like a lunatic--burst mode is certainly no subsitute for thought. But if you have 3 of each shot it helps bring out the best.

Excellent advice...HOWEVER.

I think we must impose a limit between what is original and artistic and what is downright silly. I see thousands of photos of absolutely sod all everywhere now....

OK, I'll try to give you a crash course. Do tell me what camera you have so we can give further guidance.

If you are a beginner put the camera into full auto mode so you don't have too many...

High ISOs are downright inconvenient with film, because you can't change it. I find ISO 400 gives intolerable grain, with ISO 100 being nearly unnoticeable. Besides, if you have ISO 400 loaded in and...

That's a tad steep, Olympus OM Zuiko lenses are definitely far cheaper! I find f2.8 is enough for natural light photography.

Yeah, 85 or 100mm is a good focal length to have as these lenses are still fairly compact (in many cases not much bigger than the 50) but offer a closer perspective without being too close. I hear...

Most reviews complain that the AF on the EP-1 is too slow for a camera in that price bracket. I would personally LOVE to use OM lenses on a digicam to get that old silky smooth manual focus...

Anyone know why it's called shooting?

When we take it pictures, why do we call it shooting? And why are the resulting photos called shots?

Is it because aiming and focussing a camera is a bit like aiming a gun? Or maybe because...

I have heard about the Bessaflex and its excellent viewfinder, but all I can say is that the OM's viewfinder also has to be seen to be believed. It is enormous and extraordinarily bright, far better...

Yes, the Yashica doesn't fit the posters needs, but the OM cameras do. I just bought a replacement Wein cell and they cost just £5 now. Five quid for a year's use seems like a fair deal to me....

Thanks for the info, I'll have a play around. I guess f1.4 is a last resort, it's far more common for me to shoot between 2.8 and 11.

How about f1.4 lenses? I recently acquired the Zuiko 50mm f1.4 for OM-system, reported to be an excellent lens. Do they give an unusably small DoF when wide open?

You sure you want digital?

Actually for a beginner digital is best because you can take a lot of pictures and learn from your mistakes easily.
