Digital lens on a full frame body (10-20 fun)

petemc · 01-03-2006, 22:18

So while my 10D is in the shop getting a new spoiler I thought I'd revisit film. Now I love my Sigma 10-20mm but its designed for a 1.6x sensor, or is it? Well it is. At 10mm you get this;

However at 13mm you get this;

Idea. Its not as bad at 13mm. I doubt you'd even see the lens during gigs, which I hope to try on Friday using Ilford 3200. I'm off to Snowdon tomorrow with some new film so today I decided to go for a walk around Liverpool. With some cropping and tweaking I was able to remove the lens for the most part. It was nice to be out on a sunny day with a "compact" camera (no battery grip) just taking some shots. Been a while since I just wandered.

Hehe yer I bought the camera as a backup and cos I really like the feel of film. Just hardly use it cos I have digital and its costs money.

Hell ya! Was great to just wander around town not a care in the world simply looking for the next shot. Its a lot scarier though as you have no idea if anything is working as you'd hoped.

Bus stop for me I think, really nice shot. The not knowing is part of the magic though, for me anyway.

Good to see someone using film too. It's a dying art you know

So where'd you get them processed Pete - somewhere quick on the high street?

Cool! Glad it's not put you out of commission then. I'm really gonna get my A1 out soon just for the buzz.

Gandhi · 01-03-2006, 22:55

Mybe we should have a little 'TPF' mini challenge....... Shoot 1 roll of 35mm, don't post process and post the best 3. Should sort the men from the boys

CT · 01-03-2006, 22:59

LOL. That could be some good fun!

I could lie about the processing anyway.

Not like we can check the EXIF

Very good - like #3 and #7 in particular, the perspective makes it look like a building straight out of Gotham City or something - very imposing.

Good to see nothings getting you down despite the aggro with the 20D

Gandhi · 01-03-2006, 23:14

Meh, it wouldn't be very honest though now, would it young man?

Perhaps we should arrange it? I'm off to get some film now!

petemc · 01-03-2006, 23:15

I've got Ilford 3200 and Provia 100f at the mo and I'll be shooting snow tomorrow and a gig on Friday, hopefully

I'm up for it.

CT · 01-03-2006, 23:20

OK I'll definitely do it in the next few days - been threatening long enough!

Gandhi · 01-03-2006, 23:51

Ok then, I'm out clubbing on saturday night and south wales on sunday, so will run a couple of films through the knackered minolta and the the contax. Might even give the fisheye jobby a bit of exercise too!

I know the boots scans onto cd are lo-rez pete (72dpi?), but were these posts direct from that or scanned negs? I've got access to a scanner but may take a while to get them done!
