Film, pt 4
I was only supposed to write three posts about film, but that was before I actually got the camera. It feels like I’m more excited about my 2nd hand film camera than I was with my brand new 40D! So I picked it up last night and the first impression when I was unpacking it was “wow it’s huge”. When I compared it to the 40D, it’s only marginally bigger but somehow it still seems larger than its dimensions indicate. Weird. The second reaction after unpacking the camera was “wow no display”. Just a tiny window to see the film roll, LOL.
Then after I had attached a lens and turned on the camera and pressed the shutter – oh wow. The Sound. When the 40D came out, a lot of people were complaining about the shutter sound. It was different than on the 20D, yes, but I got over it in about a day. But the EOS 3 is like beautiful music… I need to get it as an MP3. I’m telling ya, you want to take pictures with this camera just so you can hear the shutter!

The lens I mounted on the camera was the Sigma 15mm fish-eye. I’ll add a fourth “wow” here – for the first time, I saw how wide 15mm really is. I could get the whole room in the frame… it’s a brand new photographic experience for me. I think I should try to learn to use wideangles this summer!
