Consider that most photo labs converts film images to digital before printing, I can't see the point of keeping film and having that middle man.

I still use film on occassions as I've an in-house darkroom. If I'd didn't have that, then film will be a thing of the past for me.

BTW there are some people that insists that I use film for their portraits. Strange but true

I've seen a few Martin Parr photos and they are very good. It's basically what started my quest for that retro feel saturation, something that cannot be achieved in photoshop with the same effect.

Can anybody recommend a film that can emulated the colour saturation of the older film, say in the early 80's/late 70's. I've seen a afga film that can do the job, but that make is very hard to get a hold of now.

I like this bloke. You don't need expensive stuff for photography, just the know-how.

Well I suppose you need a decent lens but if anyone is after studio stands, I've got a few spare, just p.m.

I've check the manual and I'm right!!

Using in Wireless Mode

Shoot using the flash without connecting the camera and flash with a cord
by using two AF360FGZ units.

Using in Wireless Mode
1 Place the AF360FGZ at the desired location.
2 Set the AF360FGZ power switch to [WIRELESS].
3 Set the AF360FGZ wireless mode to S (Slave).
4 Turn the camera mode dial and set the exposure mode to e, b, c or
a mode.
5 Set the AF360FGZ power switch on the camera to [WIRELESS].
6 Set the AF360FGZ wireless mode on the camera to a (Master) or A
(Control).

I could be wrong but I don't think the DS model has wireless stuff on it. The only way to wireless is having 2 flashes (one being the slave). The main flash being connected to the camera will then communicate with the other flash via wireless

You can set it to autofocus with the remote, you just need to alter the setting in the custom menu

Depends on the photograph, but I use multi-focus points more, especially in low light. However, I've got the setting to switch to single at a touch of a button.
