• Why I chose a NOS njkon F 60

    From dimitris tzortzakakis@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 6 20:26:06 2019
    1) cheaper than a digital body (entry level)
    2)nobody in his right mind would steal my film body
    3)I can shoot legendary films like velvia,tmax,3200,delta and so on
    4)film bodies are timeless-I will keep mine until it breaks down
    and not until the new fangled super duper sensor
    comes
    5)shooting film these days is a novelty
    6)after 1 year and a dozen films still on its OEM batteries
    7)more rugged than an entrylevel digital (metal chassis)
    8)a real camera and not a computer with a lens
    9)no dirty sensor problems
    10)reasonable to make a darkroom again

    Lemme know if you find a really good black&white printing paper like
    Kodak Elite Fine-art S2 and S3. I prefer D-72 1+1, but I am willing to
    use an Amidol developer if necessary.

    I am pretty sure l wont since here they import only ilford
    multigrade rc papers and only in athens.And a couple of paper
    developers.namely multigrade ilford and one kodak.I am now to the
    point of saving up for a new enlarger and lens and the necessary
    parafernalia.which darkroom equipment I so foolishly gave away
    when I went digital. My 2 little nieces won t have another chance
    to see a real darkroom.

    11)by definition film is always full frame without having to pay
    an arm and a leg
    12)you can shoot (even today) dozens of different films and not
    the same old sensor
    13)you can scan (of have scanned) your film and so have the best
    of both worlds
    14)your negatives are immune to data theft data loss data
    hijacking data corruption and so on
    15)your negatives will remain readable fot ever while with digital
    files who knows what will happen (a friend ofmine had his thesis
    in 2 5 1/4 floppies so it s practically lost for
    ever)

    That means a new old stock nikon f 60 but that ship has sailed as
    i have ancanon eos 30 also nos nos means although the camera was
    old stock say2000 it was brand new (as there are no film bodies
    manufactured now)
