Digital has arrived and I have dabbled at 5.1 megapixels. I like
digital and can make nice prints up to 8x10 that look great. The next
obvious step is a SLR Digital. I grew up with Canon and have a nice
collection of EOS stuff. The problem is the $1600 for the EOS 20D. So
what do I do? I turn my back and march firmly into the past. I went on
EBay and purchased my first camera again, a Canon A1 for $100. The last
time I had one of these and was what I considered an advanced amateur I
shot Kodachrome exclusively. Now , in the 21st century, I will scan all
new negatives into Photoshop.
My question is, Do I now shoot negatives or slides? The reason I
shot slides in the past is that I had a lot of control over the image
and did not have to worry about how the printer would change my intent.
Since these are now going into Photoshop is their any advantage to
slides? Will I still be able to get that Kodachrome saturated look with
negatives? The advantage to negatives would be the faster speed and
longer tonal range. I really like the print results I get from Fuji
Reala 100. What is the megapixel equivalent of Fuji 100. how about
400?
thanks
