I agree too. The EF35mm f2 IS is superb. So if we already own a 35 mm lens, why would we want a 40 mm lens?

SmoothOperator. I’m not sure which APS-C you have, but the Canon EF 35mm f2 IS is a very very decent lens. If you have mirrorless no doubt you can adapt this.

I have absolutely no language problems with my Xiaomi MI. It’s a far better and cheaper priced phone than my temperamental Sony Xperia Z3 which died after 2,1/2 years. I like the Xiaomi robust...

So get out your old right angle viewfinder adapter.

What a clever idea guywithyashica. Also, mainly for fun we could in a similar way make a paper negative using a film sized piece of enlarging paper placed in the camera back. After developing it...

Sorry Davinator. It was C22 not C41 that was sometimes used to cross process Ektachrome as a negative. Usually just before the chemicals were replaced as doing that could contaminate the chemicals....

So, Davinator, which of the several different Ektachrome emulsions were “cleaner and less grainy” than which of the several different Kodachrome emulsions? K10 asa, K25 asa, K64 asa, K200 asa as...

It’ll be great as a disposable lens for a remote camera shooting a herd of wild elephants charging.
I doubt though if it will be as good as my 10 year or so old EF 50mm f1.4. Automatic image...

Correct allari. During the Ektachrome ( reversal ) process, after the first development the courser grains of the THEN darker parts of the image are bleached away. The film is then given a non...

Its horses for courses. Nobody will make you use film again and I’m sure you won’t. Most of the best ever photos were shot on film. I like the option to use either. My 20 year old EOS 1n is...

If Apple Airdrop doesnt work for you, try PhotoSync which works for me between my new iMac, my 10 year old iMac, my 2009 MacBook Pro, my iPad Air,

A lithium ion battery sucked into a jet engine would make a BIG BANG. A much bigger bang than a seagull would make.

Most manufactures copy to some degree. Take for example the Zeiss Tessar originally designed in 1902. As far as I know it’s the most copied lens design ever.

bdbender4 That’s exactly what we used to do when printing film with an enlarger. It was called dodging and burning.

Looker, Obviously you have never learned to shoot film.

Just Another Amazon Ad. Any professional photographer taking setup photos of food etc would use a tripod regardless of the camera. It looks “cool” to be holding the camera at arms length but it’s...

Thanks but no. I’ll just keep shooting film with my XPan.
