Hi guys, 3 questions:
1. Is there anybody here who shoots B&W film and prints digitally after scanning the negs in? I'd be interested to know your workflow.
2. Also, I would like to know whether you get quality prints from them. I am looking at quality similar to darkroom prints on fibre. I am not happy with the current results that I get from Ruby or Colour Lab, purely because they are printed on photo paper.
3. Lastly, is it feasible to use digital cameras for B&W? My requirements are:
a. fast lens (f2 or less) at the 35-50 mm focal range (35mm equivalent). I do not want to spend 3k for the Nikon 28/1.4
b. no shutter lag, and fast write speed for RAW files
c. full manual controls - focus, aperture and shutter
I have done a lot of homework but haven't found a suitable camera. The LC-1 is the closest so far, but with a terrible buffer for RAW.
Would especially appreciate views of those into b&w street shooting. Thanks.
