[QUOTE="Retro, post: 486498, member: 37517"] Yes, the D3 is a digital F5, along with the D1, D2, and D4. There are plenty of F5 bodies available in excellent condition, but the new or mint ones are disappearing. I have been looking at the Magic Lantern books on eBay. I may go to Abebooks.com to find one. I'm reading Thom Hogan's manual now. Years ago I was in a photographer's studio in Windsor and they had comparison pictures on the counter: 35mm vs. medium format. One comparison was of a mountain side. The MF photo showed crags in the rock, while the 35mm showed that the rock was grey - no crags. The other comparison shot was of two boys sitting on a deck. One of the boys had a brand new red T-shirt on. In the MF photo, the red T-shirt was almost bright enough to blind you, while in the 35mm the T-shirt was just red. I was quite impressed, but in the real world, anything more than 35mm is not realistic. Even for weddings nobody is willing to pay for the extra quality. They just say that 35mm is good enough for everybody. I wish I had a few hours to spend with my F100, but I have a family and a job.:apologetic: [/QUOTE]
