You must try slide film and black and white Blues. That spot meter in the F80 is mighty useful!

spooky!!! U guessed all my move 100% man! ...

yesterday went to Ruby to get provia 100F and ilford hp5+ 400...

today shot half a roll of ilford at indian temple..

my only gripe is that the ev compensation is at 0.5 increment instead of 0.3 I'm used to with the d70 mm

oh and yea coming from dslr .. I miss that 'beep' sound when locking focus

ahh btw any idea which shop stocks velvia 50/100 ?? I went to CP, ruby they all have run out of stock since 1-2 months ago ...

any recommendation for other slides that have strong saturated colours for landscape? kodak E100VS?

Go to Lucky Plaza basement, there are plenty of shops there selling film, with ample stocks of velvia, provia,sensia, reala, etc. prices will be slightly higher than Ruby, I think.

 

P.S. whatever you do, never take pictures of human beings using velvia.

Cool camera. I find film a much more forgiving medium than digital. Maybe b'cos I am a lousy photog.

Just browsed through your gallery Fuwen.

JiuZhaiGou looks so much different back then. You went there in 1998?

The place looks much more 'raw' than now with all the amenities and pathways for tourists. But I guess the scenery stays pretty much the same back then and now, which is a good thing I think

Oh yes I went JiuZhaiGou back in 1998. A very enjoyable photography trip with 3 other photography friends, one of them from Peking. I have seen photos taken by my friend who went lately, I think still 'raw' enough. Some damages cannot be help with so many visitors.

Yeah, I think it's good that they manage to preserve the original condition of the place. From what I know the buses allowed inside are supposed to be more eco-friendly too

any Leica fans who've managed to get their hands on the digital M8

My recent business trip to Ireland. Seldom do overseas trip as have 4 young kids to look after. This is also the first overseas trip I brought along my range finder system and things turned out well. Not many photos due to lack of time and bad weather.

I wonder what is the future of film in the 21st Century. Will the 20th century history of photography be remembered as the beginning of the end for film?

Not likely the end for film, some of my views at http://www.fuwen.net/index.php?option=com_...d=71&Itemid=131

 

As the big players see dropping in profit for selling film, small players find new business opportunities in selling film to even a small market segment. Well film will probably never be the main stream photography media again.

 

As I have said I am faily sure that film will out-live me. : )
