congrats on the cam, dave, m6 is a great choice
Heheh... Understand you will be helping someone with a special package too right? Bro, we need to meet up and congrats on the special M9 too.
Anyway, this M6 is everything I wanted a MP to have.
I may be helping myself to the special package if temptation takes over (vincent, I hope you are reading this ;p:bsmilie

Thanks for replying.
You mean the images posted here are actually scanned from negative?
haha, no wonder, when i used my normal scanner to scan my film photos, the results are really horrible.

Wongsan.. Note to Self. Don't ever show this thread to the wifey. "Girlfriend", "Black", "special package"??? Hmmm...
well vincent like chocolate I guess...different strokes for different folks...:bsmilie:
you can develop your colour or b&w film for about $3.50 - $6, or diy at home.
aside from digitizing to share online, scanning the neg is a neat way to preview before printing as well.
some of the more affordable scanners that offer negative scanning (usually with use of an adaptor) include the espon v700 ($??) and the and the canoscan 8800f (<$300).
alternatively, you can opt for a lab scan, which is a service usually offered when you develop your film... but low-res / high-res prices vary from shop to shop, typically in the range of $6-$12 per roll (returned in a CD, sometimes with contact print).
Went to the Zoo with my Canon 50 f1.2 and Nikkor 85 f2.0 LTM.
Nikkor 85 f2.0
Pardon me for asking but can you tell if the bokeh in this image (and in your Canon 50 mm 1.2 images as well) are touched up in PP. I find them very "unique" - they both look very similar. Would you mind telling what camera did u use?

Since we're on this topic, I'm curious to know if printing from lab scanned jpgs (@ 4 base) will give the same results as sending the negatives for printing (for prints from 4R to 8R). As most minilabs are digital anyway, I reckon it should be the same? (ie. negs will be scanned before printing anyway).
As such, would be great if you guys could share how you get your prints done, especially for those who self-develop b&w at home. Do you send in your negatives, or the digital files you've scanned yourself?
Also, I was recently told by one of the minilabs that 4 base scans are good enough for printing up to 8R, & would like to know if this is indeed true.. :think::think:
I will stay off lab scan as they tend to overprocess the pics resulting in high contrast and bright colored photos. A good investment into the V700 (about $870 - you can get it from the Espon dealer at SLS) will allow you to scan 24 frames at one shot. If you ever move to Medium Format, there's a folder for that too. I love the V700 except for the size. The software that came with the unit is pretty sufficient too. You do your own editing in Lightroom or PS. Frankly, I usually don't have to do much to my film pics.

Sure... I am using a M8 and used both LTM lenses with a VC LTM-M adaptor. The Canon 50 f1.2 if I am not wrong is a planner design while the Nikkor 85 is a Sonnar design. The Sonnar characteristic is the 3D effort you get. Sharp centre and fall off towards the edge. Even @f2.0, I am quite impressed with the bokeh. Look at the edges of my wife and baby, you can see the "pop-up" effect.
