Digital Film Cartridge For Analog Cameras

[Black] As both a digital and analog shooter - often shooting both formats together on the same outing - I found the Domke F-1X an ideal bag for carrying my hybrid kit. The F1-X accommodates, with ease, my F6 and D4s (D800), several AFS-D lenses (17-35mm, 50mm, 28-70, and 80-200mm), several spare CF and SD cards, an abundant supply of film, a cleaning kit, and my logbook. Typical of Domke, the bag is well thought out, and well constructed. A measure of confidence in Domke bags? This is my third purchase (I keep different film kits in each): I now have a pair of F2 bags as well as the recently purchased F-1X. I would give an unqualified thumbs-up to the F-1X; Domke products are first rate.

[0.355 lb] When commercial photography was done with big format analog cameras we were able to correct parallels and to get in focus the whole image by using the different movements of the camera. Then the all-digital era came and if we wanted to keep using our big format cameras we needed to attach to them a digital back that could represent an investment of several tens of thousands of dollars. Now, for less than two grands we can convert our SLR in a parallel-correction-get-everything-in-focus digital image generator.

[75 Ohm] I use this, coupled with an analog to digital converter, to record the output of my old consumer video cameras for my YouTube channel. Yes, it's overkill, but it makes recording video from old cameras fun and hassle free. Once I have the files recorded, I can easily transfer them right away into my computer for editing purposes. You will also need to purchase a BlackMagic analog to digital converter to go with this. The BMD Video Assist is the the Swiss Army Knife of video recorders! My only regret was not getting the 12G model.

[3 VDC] I still enjoy film photography even though I have several digital cameras. This battery with the help of B&H keeps me enjoying photography.

[0.2 lb] Having been a Leica shooter for many years with film cameras, it seemed your right thumb naturally went for the film advance lever when using the camera...the first thing you miss on the digital bodies. I never bought one of these for my first digital M - the M8 - but I'm delighted with how this feels on my M (typ240). It slotted in perfectly in the hot shoe and seems to be precision built. I often shoot with the 21mm accessory finder so I need one with the cold shoe...and this works perfectly.

[0.015 lb] Been using Cokin since 1978 with Film Cameras. Now on Digital.. Can switch very quickly from one filter to another, good for rapid changing weather/light conditions.

[Theme] Something to keep in mind: this Polaroid film is not suitable for vintage cameras. The difference is that this cartridge does not have an integrated battery, unlike the ones used by vintage cameras. Despite that, it remains a good option because it offers good image quality. Thanks for watching the video.

[0.015 lb] Now that I've been shooting with my Leica M9 and Leica M8.2 Digital Camera Bodies, I have developed an interest in trying film. This Leica MP, fits my needs and interests completely in this regard. My Leica MP, is very well constructed, and it's a camera I intend to use for the rest of my life. Another benefit to me is that I will develop and scan my own film at home; and, as a result, I am learning so much more and developing a greater appreciation for photography than I would have from use of my digital cameras alone. With such reasonable costs and high quality of today's scanners that are available for home use, and film processing kits such as the Tetenal, C-41 Press Kit (also, available from B&H Photo), just about anyone should be able to shoot/develop/scan their own film, and subsquently handle the images similarly as one would do with images from ones digital cameras.

[Glass] The Polarizer is useful for eliminating unwanted reflections. The UV filter doesn't do much for digital cameras, they are a must have for film cameras. However it is a good lens protector and worth the money for that.

[Plastic] I am returning to film photography after a stint with some great digital cameras like Nikon D810, Sony A7R II, and Fujifilm X-Pro 2. As it stands now, I sold all those cameras and my Leica M-A is still with me and going strong. Don't get me wrong, all those digital cameras take great pictures, but I always feel like something is missing from the experience. Shooting the M-A is as much about the result as it is about your picture taking experience. In that sense, the Leica M-A is superb. It reduces photography to its bare essentials, and by doing so, photography feels like an intimate conversation with one's own creativity or vision. If I could read this very review just a year ago, I would probably laugh at myself! Now, it's all too late for me. Save yourself and look elsewhere if you can. If not, you might embark on a lifelong love affair with Leica.
