Hey Matt, I see you and other photographers shut your mouths about BLM & all the black shooting deaths… You should do a follow up, do some research, see if the death tolls are down since your boy Biden got into office for the black community. Cause now you look like a bandwagon talking head joker throwing a opinion out & fading away on the issue afterwards.

As soon as I saw the lens on the camera I recognized the 67 lens and knew you had to had adapter in there. I just recently started using my 67 lens on my Sony body using an adapter too. Didn't realize that there would be no crop factor on the lens due to the focal length being in 35mm terms. Definitely interested in looking into a tilt shift one next. Didn't know how they worked but this video gave a good a example of how it works

It seems many film photographers are slowly moving to GFX systems. It’s great ! GFX system is in continuation with film I started with film cameras (Pentax 67, contax 645) few years ago. Never had a digital. In 2021 got myself gfx 50s and then gfx 100. GFX system is awesome choice for film photographers. Im having fun to shoot with aero ektar 178mm 2.5 , SMC 105mm 2.4 with Kipon 0.7x , canon 85mm 1.2.

If you are going to switch from film to digital you should be shooting with a Hasselblad H series body with one of the digital backs that were made for that series. Best of both worlds. You can shoot on film with the H series film backs and can shoot on digital with the H series digital backs. Lastly an older used H series film camera with the backs would either be the same price or less than a new Fujifilm GFX100S, with the advantage of being able to use better medium format lenses than what Fuji offers.

I love shooting film but I can't really afford it price per picture anyway so I picked up a second hand XT3 pretty cheap at a local store, it's a great wee camera and it has such a similar workflow to my canon and cosina that I can still work in the same method but not have to worry about bad shots or the cost of what is just a hobby that doesn't have any returns. I love shooting with my Canon 1.8 50mm on the fuji, the glass has a real (crappy) vintage look to it and the experience of actual manual focusing (as opposed to autofocus lenses with motor driven manual focus) is super tactile.

I started doing photography back in highschool (mid 90s) using my dad's old Nikon F2 (Which I still own) along with a set of Nikkor primes. I really enjoyed film and it was great for learning how to take things slow spend time to compose an image. When the D700 arrived I switched to digital and I have not loaded film in a camera since, but I never stopped using the old vintage lenses. It turns out for me at least, it was never about the film, but the old lenses are something I really love. Now I've moved on to a sony Sony mirrorless system and a growing collection of vintage lenses and adaptors and filters. I must say I have no desire to pickup a roll of film an shoot with the old Nikon.
