OK we've now got quite a few DSLR owners on board with a bit of use behind
them, how about a quick informal usage survey?
For those DSLR users with 35mm gear who thought before buying their DSLR that
their 35mm film usage would:
Remain the same?
Be halved?
Become occasional?
Become specific (i.e. B&W only or high ISO or slide only)?
Cease all together?
I expected my film usage to be reduced somewhere between 25-50%.
Did your subsequent actual film use match your prior expectations?
I don't use the *istD much (compared to many others on the list). I've
had it since mid-October and have taken just over 800 pictures with it,
probably half of those were just me messy around seeing what it could do
rather than taking "real" pictures. I had just started shooting B&W film
when I got the D, and I've found that I love it. For as long as I have
film, darkroom supplies, and access to a darkroom, I think my film
bodies will still get more use than the *istD.
For users who had Pentax SLRs prior to purchasing a Pentax DSLR did you end up
buying one or more new lenses specifically to suite the DSLR?
I'm still looking for something I can afford after spending all that
money on the *istD.
