Hmm..just woolgathering on another thread, but I'd really just value the thoughts of you on this:
I have the age-old dilemma of what to do next, kit-wise. My "thing" is landscapes and preferably at high resolution. My fave and only working field equipment has always ever been, whether in my old Nikon F4 days or my medium format days..or lately in my digi-days, 3 primes(wide, standard and tele).
Now, I'm debating whether to finally start scavving and saving to go full-frame(Canon D-something plus primes, I suppose, and their hideously inflated "pro" lenses[er, weren't they all this good 40 years ago?])....or am I able to gain satisfaction by the following...?
I've loved my heavy, beautiful Pentax 67Mk2 for years: stunning quality prime lenses...big enough to whip out and take monstrous hand-helds in front of smug 1D users..ya know the score. This kit has been seriously unused for yonks by me, yet am loth to get rid of it because of the sheer image quality.
Do any of you think that a solution would be for me to get a decent quality negative scanner?
Have any of you been in the same situation?
Am I missing something glaringly obvious in my assumption that all would now be well?
Any stray thoughts? I'd be really grateful for any musings, advice, laughter, etc;
ta,
Shaun
