Actually they put out a number of numbers... The most ridicules was that
6mp was equal to
35mm mostly because that was the resolution they offered on their picture
disk product. (That
was before they offered the 14mp DSLR).

Depends on the emulsion. A fine grained film was about 28mp while a

It's been a while, but I still have a kitchen cabinet full of gear.
I may just shoot b/w at gfm and process it myself...then again, I may be
kidding myself.

Hello Jens,
I had already sold off almost all my 35mm gear quite a while ago. So
I started basically fresh on lens procurement for the *istD. So all
my lenses are AF lenses.
One thing to note, the *ist film body has the advanced AF and wireless
flash operation of the MZ-S for a much smaller pri
A $5 a sheet for 4x5 I figure I am paying myself between $30-$60 per hour to do
it, grin. Sounds like it is kind of like knitting for you, Shel.

Once I used the built-in flash with my MZ-5N and FA 24/2.0 to take a picture
of a clockwork in an old murky tower. The result was quite good. Good enough
so that I wouldn't carry a flash with me unless I know I will use it.

I process all my B&W. (APX 100, HP5+, Tri-X, Pan-F) Sometimes I use Portra 400 B&W
(lovely film), and I get that
processed at the lab.

I kept my MZ-S when I got the *ist D. The MZ-S hasn't been out of the bag
since. And, if you consider the cost of film and processing, about 50-60
rolls of film will recover the difference in cost. Also, with the firmware
upgrade, using K and M lenses is really no different than using AV on th
Early 1980's. The first "standard" zooms were variable aperture 35-70's. AE made it
much easier to use variable aperture lenses. Mfg's were able to offer zooms that were
only a little bigger and heavier than 50mm primes. They were bought by amateur
shooters. This was the era when makers were try
I still process my own BW, although I don't shoot as much of it as I
once did. Still use D-76 1:1 for most films. T-Max Developer for Ilford
3200 or TMZ3200.

Hi Shel,
Last night for me was the turn of a Tri-X roll, developed in
XTol, 9' at 19°C. A tiny bit thin, but should print well. I
should have given priority to a Delta 3200 that is waiting a bit
too much. Maybe tonight... I absolutely have to print too, there
are several rolls still without contac
