Andrew_Smith Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Thanks. It gets me when some people say that an 18-55mm kit lens doesn't cut it, sure it has it's limitations, but it is quite a versatile lens. Was that picture captured with the kit lens? If so, wow! I must admit, I too have a kit lens (don't use it that often - I prefer my 100mm macro for the detail and bokeh) but I have taken a few landscapes with it and it can really produce super nice shots if your settings are correct in camera, making it easier in post.

Well I sold my camera with 2 kit lenses last year, nowadays I post photos that I took while I had the camera, lol. I just wasn't prepared to save money for better lenses, so I sold it as a bundle. My wife has a macro lens, and you're right, they do produce lekker detail and bokeh. I believe the 50mm (or nifty fifty) also produces nice bokeh. Andrew_Smith 1

Stoffel76 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 So I had a nostalgic weekend... I was at my mom's house and found 4 boxes of my old photos and slides ranging from the late 80's when my dad bought me my first SLR to about 10 years ago when I stopped using film... Question - Does anyone know of any companies that rent out slide/film scanners? I'd like to save a lot of it digitally...

If I can find someone who can get it to operate again, then I wouldn't mind playing around with film.
