Is there a legal cure?! If not than this forum could become outlawed soon. Prohibition of RF forums.... We'll all have to go underground, find a speakeasy for our meetings, an RF opium den to satisfy our addiction. 😛

There is no cure for RF addiction! All shall love thee and despair!

Hi, Honu-Hugger. I will try to post some photos later but I'm still figuring how I can transfer my color slides to digital????

Get yourself a little film scanner. There are threads here on the subject in the Darkroom forum or just do a search on scanner. The Konica Minolta DS IV is a favorite here and it does a great job with slides! 🙂

Hi, new guys. 🙂

Thanks Peter_N and Rex. Rex, do you know where I can buy the scanner? Should I go for computer shops or photographic equipments shops?

 

[RML]

If HK is like Amsterdam than you can best go to a computer shop. Scanner prices tend to be much more competitive than in camera shops.

28mm Ultron sounds like an interesting choice for the street photos, urging you to get in close and intimate with your subjects!

That's a real challenage to me indeed. However, most of the subjects are unexpected calm and peaceful as putting the camera in front of their faces. 😉

Naah, that's not too bad to shoot with lens cap on. I've done that too plus shooting 5-6 tightly framed photos using 75mm lens but with 50mm framelines, trying to take pictures without any film in the camera, shooting the entire roll with wrong ISO setting and so on. 🙄

Kris, you can't believe how silly I am, my head just keep go up and down to look into the body viewfinder and the 28mm add-on viewfinder everytime as I try to take a picture. I still can't figure out a right steps (sequence) to do the focusing, metering and framing before pushing the button. 😛
