Topic: Why I Switched: Kodak to Ilford Black-and-White Negative Films

[gothamtomato]

I thought you guys would enjoy this article about photojournalist Peter DaSilva who still shoots film, from the B&H Explora blog:

To me the fact that he switched films is the least interesting part of this article. It's all the rest that I love, and his photos are lovely.

I read that piece when it was first published. He does do some nice work. Unfortunately, it also makes me want a wide-angle Rolleiflex.

I think we've all got that same affliction: See camera, want camera!

thanks for this one,
I like getting a deeper look at how a photographer goes about his day and work flow.
 


And double "the see camera, want camera"...

Too broke to get one... I wonder if I can find some adapter lenses for my Yashicamat?

a bit rare aren't they? pretty soft from what I hear, so they seem good!

They are pricey.  Aperture in London currently has a "User" condition one up for £1,390.  If you want sharp as a tack equivalent, a Mamiya C330 + 55mm lenses is a better option, IMO.  A bit heavier, I'll admit, but much as I really like Rollei TLR's, I'd struggle to part with that sort of money for one....

Yikes! That is actually about 1/3 of what I paid for my car!
