The big difference is that the feedback from digital is pretty much instant, and you don't have to wait for that roll of 36 to come back to realize that you forgot something super basic I have a couple of rather nice 'legacy' Minolta lenses that I can use on my Sony a6500, with a suitable adapter. I tried to convince myself that the 'manual, purist experience' was the way to go, but in practice, I find myself rarely using them. My Sony lenses (10-18, 18-105, 70-300), do a better job, with far less effort on my part, allowing me to focus more on the image, without letting the gear get in my way.

In my 35mm dayz I got tired of waiting to expose 36 frames, so I went to sheet film. My range of lenses of cover 17mm through 200mm, but as that is with a FF camera I am good to go. I do sometimes think of going even wider, but in reality my lan is to get all the TS-E lenses for the 6D. I wish there were simple, fully manual digital SLRs out there, but so far as I know there are none, just the various Leica M series of digital rangefinder bodies.

6D is a really nice camera. I've moved to Fuji ASPC, but made wonderful images with the 6D. |

Any photographers out there?

I think one start up promised to do just that, but it was either a fraud or just never got off the ground. My idea would be to have the cassette blue-tooth to your phone for some control and backup and a view screen. Possible, But impractical. You would have get it down to 200 dollars and sell a million...just not going to happen. And would the sensor be too thick? I would love to be able to use my old Konica stuff that way. And it would be great for photography classes. Students could learn the fundamentals. |

For you guys talking about 6Ds. I got one when my 5D died. It is a very impressive camera. I had my old 5D and flash setting down pretty good, so the 6D does challenge me in that regard. But the images are great and the in camera processing is impressive. I imagine the Mark II is better, but I hardly use any of the 6d features. I do really like that it can Bluetooth to my phone.
As you can tell Grandpa is a little behind the times, but it is all good fun! |

The pressure plate was floating and probably has a enough "backlash/play" to allow for a thin sensor. Again, if I remember, I could ask my friend about the this.

Photography is a passion of mine, along with acoustic guitar. I was a long-time Canon shooter until last year, when I moved to Nikon. Both platforms are excellent, but I moved because I prefer the Sony sensors in the upper tier Nikons (mine is a D810).

I'm on a trip through Europe right now. My "regular" camera rig is Sony A7R3 / 24-105. First night here, only took my Pixel 3xl on a stroll through Amsterdam the other night. Blurry night sight photo but the moment is memorable.

Talk about "being out of the loop", I have a Leica IIIg, circa 1956, SM with a bunch of lenses etc. is there any trade value for this stuff? "Geez, I made good time---where am I?"

I would like to but I'd as they are all prints from negatives (i.e. real film) and "adjusted" in the darkroom, I'd have to re-photograph them all.
It's something I've been thinking about.

Just kiddin,, I used to go to the U-Print store in Portland Or., where an amateur could rent a darkroom by the hour. I also have hundreds of photos and slides that I should convert to digital
