Any advice for my first camera?

With all due respect Nuno, I'd rather not spend the time dismissing each of your points one by one, so let's take it above the level of science. I enjoy photography, and you enjoy photography. There are plenty of viable means of achieving our aims, some of which are silicon-based, some of which are silver-based.

Your dismissal of film suggests a certain degree of uninformed arrogance, and that's ultimately not a valuable contribution here.

"A certain degree of uninformed arrogance"

Excuse me?

I don't know what you do in terms of photography, but for what I have seen in you site I must say I'm not a bit impressed. Are those taken with film at www.ronaldcraig.com? Well, then your statement "Your results will ultimately be better in many respects and you will invariably become a better photographer" simply does not apply.

Uninformed arrogance you say? I don't know about you, but I had in the 90's for a couple of years a b&w studio at home. I believe I know what I'm talking about.

PS: "I'd rather not spend the time dismissing each of your points one by one". Yeah, don't do that. You certainly have better things to do.

...and just another small thing so I don't have to come here anymore.

"Your results will ultimately be better in many respects and you will invariably become a better photographer. The answer - go film"


Well, from all reasons for becoming a better photographer you really chose one that has nothing to do with becoming a better photographer, simply because the results will not be better when shooting film. That's a fantasy. They will even likely be worse.

Using film today, and I mean using it all along and not just sticking your negatives into the scanner, will lead you probably not to become a photographer at all.
