Does anyone here still shoot slides ?....and with what camera ?. I bought what i would consider a new Nikon N80 (35mm) with a Nikon 28-80 lens and Sigma 35-80 macro for $110.00. Im going to shoot Velvia 50 through it. What a nice camera for the money. It came with a Nikon strap and a Nikon Manual for the money.Both lenses work great and are also in new condition.

I ordered a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Auto Focus Lens from Adorama today. it was $159.00 + UPS 3rd day Air shipping. Hope to have it by the 31st, I want to use it at the SD auto Show and at the Midway Museum.

I transitioned into a full new set of systems this year, and it has been interesting. Previously, I've shot with a dual Canon F-1 setup (one for slides, the other for B&W and sometimes color neg) since 1983. I started having exposure problems with the F-1s several years ago and pressed an ancient T-70 back into service. I stuck my toe in the digital waters in '06 with a Canon G6 which was quite "educational"...
Well we know Craig Kaston does and yeah you can't erase them and probably take up less room compared to prints and negative film. But the processing can get a little pricey. But that is the trade off for something that will last for years and years. I use to shoot Fuji 100 and Kodachrome 64 until I got digital and the camera I shot with Canon Elan 7E started scratching the slides.

I got a bunch of slides I shot in my early years in the Navy in storage at my mothers house in Minnesota. Not going back until july but will have to bring a couple of the 7-8 boxes I have back an scan them. Then share with you guys what I have. Can I do that? I mean scan them on a scanner (HP-3500), Load onto my computer and then post online.
