Hi Everyone
I'm new here and I just have a question about my equipment. I own a Canon G9 which I love but I also have a Nikon F100 which I often feel guilty about when I leave it behind and take the G9. Many things on the message boards state that most stock photography is taken with SLR cameras but do I have any hope using film??? I invented so much money into my SLR and several great Nikon lenses but is it even possible to be successful in stock photography with using a combination of film and digital??? What is the best way to import my film pics so they can compete with high mp pictures???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I would love to get some more mileage out of my SLR (it is still like new).
Thanks everyone |

There is nothing wrong with film-many of my photos here were taken with film cameras. Most people shoot digital due to the expense of processing. If you want to shoot film and scan you will need a dedicated film scanner from either Nikon or Minolta. Flatbed scanners are not quite as good though I have heard good things about the top of the line epson flatbed scanner. If you shoot Velvia slide film and scan, those photos should be of exceptional quality. I think that what is more important is your creativity. It matters less whether it is film or digital. People have debated the film versus digital issue endlessly as well as the Bayer sensor versus Foveon deal as well. Just keep on shooting. |

I am 100% film user. I use Leica range finders but also have F-5s. I don’t think film will be dead. I use Nikon film scanners. Yes film pictures compete with best digital SLRs. Some times they looks better than digital images.

Most SLR lenses can be used for the maker's digital bodies as well as the film bodies. I started with a Canon Rebel, a 35mm film camera. I had a LOT of lenses! Canon made it easy to transition from film to digital, as over 90% of their SLR lenses are designed to fit all of their SLR bodies, both film and digital. All I had to do was buy a new body. :) Nikkon should be the same way. |
