Thanks Jessie!

The conversion is done in silfer-efex actually just with iso 100 and not so much grain, I'll try to play around with more contrast/grain and other film-emulations!

Looks like the SLR-magic is not too shabby:

I'm more curious when it comes to lenses in the 18-24mm range for E-mount, as I want something moderately wide for my Nex-7…

Wow… that lens... wow...

At least you have snow…

Chuck awesome photo man!

Sold my T3i. I was planning on the 5D MK II but as prices are going to be dropping really soon I'm thinking about the 5Dc and sell it once I save up enough for the 5D MK II instead of selling my 35.

Don't sell your 35. A new camera body ain't shit without a nice lens to match it. Buy a used 5D for now.

Yeah, I decided on that. I mean I can go FF with just an 85mm lens but I think it would be more fun with more than one lens as well.

if I can land that parttime job the next month I'll be copping FF and a new lens in april

If the price comes down to $2500 in the next few months I'll be switching over to Nikon. Especially since it's cheaper.

[derivative666]

^nikon is unfortunately more expensive then Canon. They are both great systems if you have a lot invested in glass it is a real pain in the ass to make the shift. I am in the process of unloading all my Nikon gear for Leica gear good luck!

[jbphoto23]

Lax the price isn't gonna drop 500 dollars in a few months..switching over in this economy usually equals lots of money loss.

[Mr Plow]

I've only recently started trying to take better pictures, criticism is encouraged!

*Edit: I'm also looking to upgrade to a more advanced point and shoot, kinda torn between two, Fuji x10 and Panasonic DMC-LX5, any opinions on either?
