I will consider that.

Would you be near Dublin sometime soon, if you want to see it.

Thanks Dermot

i might take you up on that. I am near the shooting pub, ‘Jack Whites’.

My MF kit consists of a Bronica GS with 65mm, 100mm and 150mm. 67, 645 and 66 backs, plus polaroid and loads of accessories. It is a pity Bronica never brought out a digi back….

Talk soon and thanks again

Thank you for the reply. I like the MF kit, but I very rarely use it.

Lately I have been experimenting with my HTC phone. (5 Meg camera). I have to say I enjoyed taking shots with it. I was surprised that it does have center-weighted and spot metering, plus plenty of other useful gadgets… I am not suggesting that it could compare to the beauty of a well carved piece of glass (The lens) but it does make you see how simple digital can be.

Your point on buying an older camera is a great idea. My preference would be a SH body with a fantastic lens. I will probably end up selling the MF to fund a ‘fantastic lens’. I like the idea of the liveview.

One other thing I would love to get back into is IR. I have been using SFX for years now, but I have read that you could convert a digi to IR only.

Thanks Ted, you have given me good food for thought…
