[QUOTE="aroy, post: 659341, member: 16090"] 1. Any FX lens will work with film body. No idea of F4, but all my film lenses had aperture ring where you could set the aperture. Some of classic AI-S lenses a - 50mm F1.2, 28mm and 105mm are perfect with film body. Most of the older AF lenses will work, but a few "G" lenses may not. The current lenses with electronic shutter will not work at all. 2. Though many of us have processed B&W film at home, I found that getting development done by professional labs much easier and most of the times cheaper, especially if you shoot a roll of film once a week or less often. For color as suggested it is best to get developing done professionally. 3. Thre are two methods for transferring film to computer. a) Use a high end film scanner, one that can do 2,000DPI to 4,000DPI optically (not extrapolated). b) Use a film adapter with a digital camera. As film is 1 1/2 inces on the long side and 1 inch on the short side, a 2,000DPI will give you 2Kx3K = 6MP, while a 4,000 DPI 24MP. Note that 4,000 DPI scanners are horribly expensive. In contrast a Digital camera will result in 24MP to 50MP depending on the model. [/QUOTE]
