ive always used film camera,
but since the digital hurricane
its more difficult and expensive to keep on the analogue
side of life...
oh and my camera is broken too,
and i wanted to revive an old polaroid i had,
exactly when they stopped making films,
so its all a tragedy and
ive kind of almost given up photography... :P

whats a zenit 11?

Hm, it's a shame you have given in to digital, but I know
what you mean- very expensive hobby.

Specially a shame about the Polaroid- I have never used one,
but I imagine it is very easy and fun. :)

Zenit 11 is a Russian camera- an SLR, built like a tank,
very sturdy and uses 35mm film, which is cool cos it is very
easy to find.

I bought it on ebay in a job lot, with a load of other
cameras. They cost £25.50 including P&P which wasn't bad
considering that justifies the price of the Zenit alone.
There was a Kodak Brownie 127 which was in very good condition
indeed and is so basic and sturdy there is nothing that can
really go wrong with it! :) I need to adjust it a bit for
use with 35mm film, but that won't be too hard.

If you want to shoot in film, it doesn't have to be that
expensive. You can use expired film, which is cheaper and
gives crazy, 'arty' effects! ^^

melack, I think you should buy a camera and get shooting
again! :D

i mean only 10 years ago digital cameras were pretty much
useless. how old were you then? is this the first time you
see a good old camera?

i don't mean to be bitchy, but somehow this irritates me.
educate yourself a little at least...

You're a bitter, elitist person, lol. You would rather
complain that someone doesn't know about something rather
than trying to impart some information about it? That's
pathetic.

I have been into photography for about a year and I use a
Konica Minolta Z2, which, as I am you know as you are a big
old fountain of knowledge, is a 4MP bridge camera. It's okay
for my needs- a lot of settings, but not too many to make it
complicated. It's a good camera for beginners who want to
learn about how to use a camera properly- 10x zoom and a
macro setting (though not true macro) up to 3CM so it's a
good all-rounder. I am only getting into film now. And I
will admit that I know little about it.

Yes, I know that ISO, f-stop, shutter speed of film and all
contribute to graininess too.

Do you have a photography website or anything? I wouldn't
mind seeing some of your stuff. :)

lol, that's a weird reason not to take photographs. I do it
for the enjoyment of it.

K, thanks. Will do! :)
