Haven't decided about the D3....except that I see no point in upgrading something that STILL fulfils my (remaining) clients needs. It really depends on how much use it gets in the next year. At the moment I am focusing on the Fuji X system as an alternative to the D7000 and it's DX lenses. It's a bit complicated because I still need selected lenses for D200IR ....and it's hard to disregard the DX multiplier advantage should I want long reach. I am a great believer in not building unused equipment stockpiles...too much choice is not necessarily a good thing. LOL

The 120 colour transp looks good on a light box but to use it you need a very high quality drum scan and this is what that drum scan looked like in Photoshop. Compare it with the pure quality from the D1X NEF! QED?I still like the "feel" of the film cameras and ritual of the process, but for everything else it has to be digital.

Going back to the Rollieflex I have been scanning in some of my older 120 HP5 negs pre 1979 and it's interesting to see the development of film from then to now. Look at the grain in this image and it's a well exposed neg developed in D76. Compare with the recent pix above with the same camera and modern HP5. Attachment: Nov Dawn1978.jpg (Downloaded 18 times)

All true and interesting, Graham. We've also entered the day when you can pack a travel hard drive with 100,000 files on it just in case you need them on your trip  I'm happy not to be up all night breathing toxic chemicals and washing and drying prints Tom

I'm happy not to be up all night breathing toxic chemicals and washing and drying prints I agree Tom I shut down my last darkroom mid 1990s. My modern injet printer (Epson R3000) makes first class B&W prints and there is a lots of great art papers to use with it!

Yes I did my last silver print in 1997. a Cibachrome via the Ilford Cibachrome processing machine I had. I sold all my darkroom kit off to fund a Nikon Coolpix 950 which cost nearly £900. Never regretted the loss of experience of acid stop, developer and fix stains on my hands and the smell of the darkroom.

Shot from the past another 120 100ISO image from a studio shoot I have just scanned for a print. Pix were taken in my Rhodesian studio 1967 with a Rolleiflex SL66 and 150mm Zeiss lens Agfa B&W 100 ISO film. Click here to comment on this image.

Can’t believe it’s been 8 years since Graham started this thread. So much has changed camera wise. I would be interested to see the Sony A1’s delivery of a similar subject, Graham. Having said that, I can’t help feeling that we have got a little obsessed with new camera capabilities. Ultimately an outstanding photograph is down to the eye of the photographer, their command of composition and lighting and their experience with the equipment to hand. This portrait is a fine example.

A Fine portrait indeed...did not know the Flex was also equipped with a f3.5 Planar as well ( did not know there was such one ) , knew about the f2.8 planar ,and xenar on both the Cord and the Flex and ofcourse the tessar. This is the first time I saw this post, and I`m Baffled to see the comparison between the scanned HB pic. and that of the D1X , now I`m more than ever convinced to stay with my D3S and D3X , still have my D1 and D1X and Slr N,..was eying an 810 but will leave it out, new lenses is what my game is about then.
