bro, this is a beautiful shot. There's bit of a HDRish feel to it.

Thanks and yeah, that's sorta what I was going for.

another one from the same roll. 6x6 is a little different when it comes to composition. I think it's a little harder. But I love the square format..

Pardon the bad quality I don't have a scanner yet...

You sir are very lucky. I would love to get into film and shooting with a Hasselblad but honestly, I think I am too lazy to do all the film processing. How much did that sucker run you?

Hey thanks man

Honestly I feel very very lucky for buying this piece. I've been wanting to have one for a long time..
I got it from a store to ensure that everything works ok and to have a warranty (3 months), and I paid 10000 SEK for the body, 6x6 film backpiece, 80mm/f.2.8 lens, light meter and some rolls of film.
Its equivalent to appr $1,500 USD.
I also thought for a long time that it's more convenient to let a lab develop the film for me. But - after I did it once I realized it's actually very exciting and not hard at all... Plus I can shoot more film because it's cheap to do it yourself.

 

[Fong$tarr]

That is actually a pretty decent price considering I have seen Hasselblads go for more. It's just nuts that film cameras go for that much, or maybe I just don't know any better. Can't wait to see some more stuff. A scanner will do wonders on your pics though.

 

[165kicks]

Speaking of scanners.. For the above pics I just took photos of the negs with my 5D and 50/f1.8 lens... not a very good option but its what I have at the moment
I am looking to get a scanner asap. Not being able to see all details in the picture sucks.

Some really nice stuff in HERE. Check it out..

I heard Rokinons are pretty good. Apparently they are produced under different names such as Samyang, vivitar, etc. Check the flickr group out for images. Im with you, I cant drop alot of cash on a fish eye when I can use that money for an L lens.

[eebs7eez]

^i'm new but have the same d90 kit lens and am pretty happy to keep it, at least for now. too many people seem too eager to just get rid of their stock lens, even when they're may be very nice units

I have a D90 and a kit and I hate the stock lens and would almost assume the Sigma is a better lens just with the apeture alone. I am sure people are content with the lens but I would rather go with primes or something that is faster.
