So...I'm still alive. Well I've been submitting photos fairly constantly, but not answering comments as much I suppose. Sorry about that.

But all is well, and currently it's really warm here...the warmest of all Europe at the moment.

Then there's a bit of a dilemma that I'm currently struggling with: I've been checking the Canon EOS 1n. This is a professional, analog SLR. It would sell for 2000 euros back in the (half/late 90s). It's a pretty cool cam. See these links:

These cameras get sold for about 250 euros nowadays (body only). That's really not that much for a professional camera with a solid body. But yeah...it's film. I am actually planning to use film for B/W shots, so for that it would be great. In July I'll spend two weeks in the Baltic States, during that trip I could also use it if I'd run out of space on my CF cards (though I have a total of 8Gb available). I'm struggling with some questions though:
- Will it add much to my Minolta Dynax 500Si?
- If it does add something to my Minolta Dynax 500Si, is it worth 250 euros?
- If I only use it for occasional B/W shooting, is it worth getting it?

As far as the lense goes, I could start out with some kit lense, those are pretty cheap second hand.

So...any input would be nice.





[STANDARD NOTICE]
At this moment, my prints on DA are a bit screwed (read: cut off). If you want to buy my photos (various sizes), send me an e-mail on mail@sandervandenberg.com and we'll work something out.

an old fashioned rhyme for you on your special day
Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child fears no foe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
And Sunday’s child is bonny and wise in every way.
