>>4283197Well someone's a little jaded! Some advice for you. A negative mindset can really influence your perception, and not in a good way. It leads to poor taste and silly outbursts.
I shoot film to make prints. They will be free of all dog hair and detritus when I am printing them. I know the best way to do this, but I am not going to take the time for simple scans.
I have a motorized beseler 45v-xl with a universal color head, and a NOS jobo 3504 print processor for color printing. Still looking to get my rodenstock rodagon apo-N enlarger lenses, but those aren't entirely necessary yet, except the 360mm one for doing super small crops.
I got a great deal on everything, so I haven't quite spent as much as that silly ass camera, but I will probably be around there after I renovate the shed and turn it into a darkroom.
I don't even know what film camera I would drop 10k+ on.. Maybe a linhof technorama with a full set of lenses? Nah, I would get a nice 8x10 view camera with a full set of rodenstock aspherical lenses. Maybe one day...
>>4283200Darkroom is still in the works. I am going to build a heated film drying cabinet with a hepa filter on it, lol. I know how to build stuff, so it will be a fun little project for me.
