Re: any dig. users familiar with these 35mm???

2001-10-06 by Terry Graham

As has already been pointed out this is a digital printing list first
and probably a digital camera list second. I have had many cameras over
the years, a couple of Canon A1's, an AE-1. For the last 6 years I have
been a Nikon Guy. I have an F100, F90X, F3 and an FE with about 11
Nikkor lenses. I have enough slides and negs here to scan to keep me
busy for the next 10 years.

Currently I scan all of my film with a Canon FS4000 (4000 dpi) scanner,
touch them up in Photoshop and print them on my Epson 1280 printer. I am
extremely happy with this combination. I am still learning a lot about
both scanning my film and printing out my shots.

A Nikon D1 will not give you the same resolution as a film camera, but
the new D1x's are getting close. The nice thing about Nikon is that you
can use almost any Nikkor lens ever produce on the D1x. There are a
couple of exotic lenses and teleconvertors that can't be used. Remember
that a 20mm lens on a film camera becomes a 30mm lens on a D1X and a
400mm lens becomes a 600mm lens.
