Are any 10D owners still shooting film?

Hi Dr. Tom,
The 100-400 is is a superb lens, I find myself using it more than
my 300m F2.8 . With the 1.6 factor I can cover the whole field of a
little league game and most softball games. It is equally as good
for soccer and wildlife. I did have one problem with mine after a
two year period of use. I was shooting a high school baseball game
for the local paper and it was typical Maine Spring game in April,
COLD!!. The zoom started working hard and then stopped working
period. I then noticed a groove that had appeared on the barrel of
the lens . in order to collapse the lens I removed the collar on
the zoom part and was immediatly showered with miniature ball
bearings. I sent it back to Canon repair in NJ and the cost was
$300.00 but luckily I have all my lenses and camera bodies insured
through my homeowners and it was covered under that and I was
reimbursed for that amount later. It is still a great lens and one

I haven't shot a roll of film for over a year. I have a D60 and
have had it for two years, it is great, I just bought a 10D and it
is better with higher ISO rating and other options thayt I really
like. w As a stringer for the local weekly thats rated the best in
Maine & with the D60 I have won a second place in the weekly
newspaper categories for the state of Maine in sports and a third
place in scenics for the same newspaper category. Both were
digital D60 pics. I have taken full moon shots that show the
craters with the 100-400 is zoom and the digital process leaves
this old man in wonderment of the advances in photography since I
was developing and doing contact prints from my old 620 camera at
12 years of age. I am not going back its too much fun with
digital.I hope you enjoy it as much as this 69 year old guy.

I'm just curious if any one is still shooting film after having
lived with the 10D for a while. I have an original Canon F1 I
bought new in 1975 or 76 (I think), an AE-1, two T-90's and a lot
off good FD lenses. I'm just wondering if I'll still find any use
for these now that I have the 10D and good EF lenses ??Thank you.

Tom

What about the small battery-powered dye sublimation printers
offered by Canon? After the initial cost of 160 dollars you would
only be paying around 50¢ per picture (around half the cost of
Polaroid Spectra film.) This would give you all the advantages of a
Polaroid camera while still delivering the quality and convenience
of digital files. Think about it: if someone blinks you haven't
wasted a dollar worth of film, but you can instead just hit the
delete button and try the shot again... only printing the ones you
need to. It would pay for itself in very little time considering
you are paying 1 dollar per photo with Polaroid.

The printer itself is not too big to worry about carrying... but
you may be better off leaving it in your car or inside somewhere
and visiting it only when needed. On the other hand you could just
toss it in a bag and print after every shot if needed... at under
90 seconds for a 4x6 print it would be less time than waiting for a
Polaroid to develop.

I have seen several wedding pros doing this these days. With the
larger portable printers you can get incredible 8x10s in an instant
and everyone is very happy.

Best,
B.

The host says , "Hey guys, take some shots of my kids, will ya?"

Al Pacheco: Click, click, click... "Here you go"

Host: "Hey, thanks, I'll stick one on the fridge and give a few to
the wife"

CanonKen: Click, click, click,click "I'm getting some good shots"
Click, click...

Host: "Can we see them? That's a great camera! Can I try it?"

CanonKen: "I'll e-mail them to you. And you can print out poster
size prints from them!"

Host: "Wow..you can do e-mail from that camera! I want one! Can I
try it"

CanonKen: "Well, no, you'll have to wait until I get home. I need
my computer and then I'll e-mail the files to you and you can print
them."

Host: "My stupid computer isn't working right...can you help me set
the e-mail up? And I don't have a printer...can I still get the
poster somehow? Can't you make one for me? And can I try that
camera of yours?"

CanonKen: "Uh, no...I think my memory card is full"

Al Pacheco: "Here...use the Polaroid"

Host: Click, click..."Digital is amazing, Al, isn't it? Say, can
you help me with my e-mail?"

The end

I have e-mailed people pictures I have taken with them!

It's easy and they have a file they can print a poster with!

Decided to invest a $100.00 just to see what it was like. I picked
up a 10S and took some landscape shots with a Tokina 19-35MM lens.

Image my surprise when I picked them up and had 24 out of 24
acceptable shots. No time had to be spent with PS.

It was a great experience for one who never shot a roll of film in
his life. I of course can thank the time I spent here with my
DSLR's for the knowledge, albeit it still small, to make some good
film pics. I know carry it with me as a backup. Great Camera and
almost the same controls as my 10D.
