NIKON D800E with ZEISS DISTAGON F1.4 35MM Sample Photo 527942 By dalth500
Graflex Century Camera
Notes
Old school 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inch or 120 roll-stock film camera - this and a 4x5 view camera were my first serious cameras when I was younger - but it taught me the basics of handling sheet film in total darkness - a skill that today is akin to being able to engineer a steam locomotive!!
Yeah usually the surprises were failures!! Digital truly frees you to focus on the composition and artistic aspects without worrying about development time/temperature curves for film and then the challenges of printing the negative - and that's just in B&W and doesn't factor in the order of magnitude difficulties of processing color transparencies and or printing C-41 images - It really slowed the creative process down and I think we thought a lot more about the whether the image was truly "worthy" of the effort along with taking more time to meter the exposure, check focus and generally double check things before the shutter was released - it took masters like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston a lifetime to assemble a body of work using large format equipment - I wonder how their work would have been influenced by today's technology
Very good, a lot of memoryI
It was Great Time.
You can have surprises after develop.
