  1. i have a Hasselblad H6D 100c🙄😶 and a Leica M10 and Leica Q……i have like 200,000$ invested in both the systems🙂 and i m happy as both companies know what to make ….Nikon, Canon don't……
    don't care 'bout the smaller competitors

  2. i took a traditional photography class and i know the pain of doing test strips and then if the contrast isn't good trying out different filters and making 4 more test strips

  3. I remember shooting film in highschool. Back then there was only one other person who even had an slr in my area. I was even doing a concept piece for the local rock band using motion blur to show how fast they were playing. I thought it looked cool but everyone else just wrote it off as a blurry photograph not even bothering to notice how everything else was sharp and in focus so it was a let down but oh well. I paid $180 for a minolta maxxum 5 and it took 8 weeks to arrive. Im not sure if all shipping was that slow or if overstock just took their time getting it to me. I dont know what happened to that camera or the canon rebel i got after that but my first digital camera took 640×480 pictures and I got it for $40 at a pawn shop. They never told me it needed a special cable to get photos off the internal memory so the photos are still on it but the battery door broke long ago. Now before the recession I had a d300s and a custom macbook pro with lots of accesories and a nice f2.8 telezoom. After the recession hit though all my gear had to be sold to pay bills and I took a $2000+ loss. U had to start back with a canon sx150 and now finally have a nikon d200 and kit lens but saving up for a canon 80d and some really fast glass. Ive just got a pc now but its what works for the time being. At least I learned a lot I guess. Still doesnt take the sting out of the recession though.

  5. The darkroom process is so hard right? You need to treat negatives as prints? At that joke, its hare to watch. You're feeding misinformation mates. I get the joke but gah, ugh. its hard to watch up after that.
