Thanks to all the help and encouragement, I\'m starting to get a handle on film in the digital age.
Today at the lab, I picked up one 24 exp. roll of Kodak Gold 200 and two 120 rolls (6x7, 10 exp each) of Fuji 160 Pro. Just process and 18MB TIFF scans = $74.50. Yikes! Something will have to give, and the first place to start is following corposant\'s advice and trying out other labs.
Here are the 35mm \"yellow theme\" (in contrast to another Jim\'s well regard \"red\") of a few of the 35mm images (maybe the Kodak box influenced me? ). Definitely a strong grain/grittiness to the images, but otherwise, they are okay. Color is getting better.
I\'ll post some Pentax 67II images in a minute.
This Zeiss 24-85mm lens is awesome! Very little distortion and great sharpness/color/contrast. AF accuracy is very good, and that\'s really why I bought the body -- to test the lens to make sure it is in working order.
After seeing the film results, the lens definitely needs to be sent to Conurus.
But then the N1 will be without a lens! I\'ll have to keep looking to try to find a deal on another lens if I\'m going to keep using this body. To hedge my bets, today I bought a used Canon EOS 1n. I don\'t know it\'s condition as far as exposure and functioning accuracy, but supposedly it works. That will allow me to use my stable full of Canon and Canon-adapted lenses -- probably the smart way to go. I can always use this lens again, this time on Canon film and digital, after it comes back from EOS conversion.
