Hi all
I am one of those born into the digital world. I have enjoyed using my Nikon D5100 and more recent V1.
However, I recently - and very impulsively - ordered a Nikon FG20 with a 50mm F2.0 which should arrive next week. I'm still not quite sure why I did this - maybe for the thrill of processing film or because it would make a great travel companion on an upcoming trip to South Africa. What I do know, is that I am very very excited!
Anyway, I know that this probably won't impact on anyone here's lives but I just had to share!!
PS. I am trying to decide which film to start with. I'm looking at Kodak 400 TMAX B&W but if anyone knows a better film for a complete noob please share. Also any input on my choice of camera, any advice for technique, and any helpful resources would be appreciated.
EDIT: I am also looking at Kodak Tri-X 400
