Four questions, as I am looking to start using film more (At the age of 16, I grew up (sadly) in the digital age)

1) What Pentax film SLR would be best for a beginner.. Im used to using Av and Tv etc on my K20D, rarely manual focus - but then wouldnt mind doing for experience. No true budget but any suggestions of an LX etc would be turned down due to the price..

2) As im simply experimenting, I don't mind using cheap film, and ive read that not only is expired film cheap, but also very experimental - I noticed 7dayshop used to stock loads of expired film, but alas their stock is no more. Anywhere on the web where some could be bought apart from ebay?

3) Whats the difference between slide and print film? Which do I want.

4) Does anyone know anywhere near Liverpool where 120 film could be developed (I was looking at holga's for a bit of fun as well).


Thanks in advance
Rob

I think he probably meant "good noise reduction". On par with noise ninja and neatimage please?

Yeah, I didnt just do it once that time anyway
I think in shock of it finally working, I did it again

Arrived yesterday
had a bit of a play, fun thing

I nearly blinded myself working out how to shoot it wirelessly though
it was one of those

"Why isnt this working?!?"
*looks into flash*
*shoots again*
*flash fires into eyes*

From the looks of it, the image has been unsaturated, apart from the blues/greens which have been altered to a warm hue, the branches therefore, have been left with a mix and match of grey and brown - thus producing an odd effect (one I like) that could be mistaken for HDR I guess..

Great image all the same, I like the processing, very powerful.

If you want a longer macro lens.. I would go for the Tamron 90. That way it replaces neither your 135 nor your 50 in focal length.

Missed a delivery today as no one was in house
So i'm guessing that was it, will arrive tomorrow.

Heh; all gone.

ordered mine, lets hope its desperation
