Film-Camera Reviews

It absolutely amazes me that this film has not become what photo class teachers hand out to their wide-eyed little pupils. The depth, range, pure quality of this film is amazing. It is not a subtle difference that no one but photo fiends can see in full size print either.

People who have never even printed a picture in their lives can look at just a negative produced from this film and one produced from, say, Kodak T-Max 400 and tell you which one is more, well, expressive. I actually had a friend of mine, who was looking at one of my negative notebooks, flip past the Ilford addiction and into the old material and look at me and say (about the negatives taken with Kodak and other films) "these are all messed up." They weren't "messed up." They were just, well, blah.

This is the film of professionals, at a price less than films that a professional wouldn't take pictures of his or her cat with.

Don't take my word for it - get just one roll and try it out. You will be addicted.

Probably the best film I have used in years. I tried the Fuigi Reala film in addition to this in a side by side shoot of street art, but the quality that came out from this film was much better. (I took both rolls to the same lab to be processed at the same time). Works great when rich color is needed or essential to the project.

the tri-x is a good all around b&w film. its the only kind i use and i like it. good quality pictures, dark blacks and bright whites.

I've had this camera for a few years, and it's great fun. The editorial review is accurate- don't expect great pictures, but almost any subject can become strangely compelling when captured by this camera. My own favourite photos came from a nighttime visit to a carnival- the pics were surreal!

I've found that being within 3-8 feet of the subject is best, and use film that's rated to your light conditions. The big secret to successful photos is to move the camera strongly while you are taking the picture (or have your subject moving). The resulting photos are all slightly different, off centre and skewed.

The more you experiment, the more fun you'll have. Just remember to warn your developer that these photos are going to come out a little 'differently' than usual!

When using a camera that gives you a 8x11mm negative, fine grain is a must. The image is 1/10 the area of a standard 35mm film. Using the modern Fuji emulsions, Minox gives us the best film we can find.

This is the best digitally controlled 35mm SLR I have ever used. The price tag may be high, but the features you get in one package make it worthwhile. The auto focus lock button and auto exposure lock button are located where they should be. The auto focus selector (single, continuous, manual) allows full control in every situation. The metering system is extremely accurate, and the built in spot meter is a plus. The control dial rather than an arrow up/down configuration gives you much faster control. I recommend this camera for the professional, or students. The vast amount of digital control might be confusing for the beginner.

I love this camera! I am a photography student and freelance photographer, and this camera is amazing. It offers top-of-the-line features at a price a student can afford. It offers all-manual options that are perfect for student work - but also has the latest and greatest automated features. For example, Dynamic Autofocusing allows you to capture photos of moving subjects, even in continuous mode, all in focus. And, this particular kit comes with a Nikkor lens that goes from a wide-angle 28mm, to a normal 50mm, through to an 80mm telephoto for portrait work. A very affordable set up, and all at Nikon/Nikkor quality. I'd definitely recommend it!

The Nikon N80 is a super camera. When I bought mine 6 months ago, the price for this package was more than $700 ... but the prices have come down significantly. Take advantage and buy this camera today!

This package offers two very high-quality Nikon lenses, to go with an excellent camera body. The camera itself offers you the ability to use manual mode, shutter-priority, or aperture-priority, or a truly stunning "program" mode. The program mode is amazing. It will let you keep moving objects in perfect focus, even if they are moving towards you, so that you get a perfect picture every time. It comes with a built-in speedlight, and offers so many features that Nikon has even developed a video to help you understand them all!

The two lenses in this package cover the complete range: 28 mm wide-angle... 50 mm normal ... 90 to 105 mm for portraits ... and up to 300 mm zoom. The low end is 28 mm because the N80's built-in speedlight is designed to provide flash coverage up to 28 mm ... anything smaller and the speedlight may not cover it.

As for the high-end, Quantaray has come out with a 2x teleconverter for Nikon autofocus cameras, that allows you to extend that 300 mm zoom all the way up to 600 mm ... perfect for nature and sports photography. The Quantaray teleconverter can be found at camera stores for around $100.00 or so ... making this a super deal, that you will love for years to come.

After I got my camera, and began using it ... my husband liked the results so much that he decided he would shelve his old Canon camera and buy an N80 too. We'd definitely recommend it!

Printing digital camera images (Olympus E-10) on an Epson 1270 with this paper produces stunning images! Very saturated, smooth and glossy look. Even nicer than Epson's Premium Glossy Photo Paper, though not quite as thick.

Here, the company lives up to it's name. After using their Digital Camera For 2 years I have had no problem with this card at all. Works as described and lasts!!!
