Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / September 20071.6x body a complement to FF?
Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement to a FF, like the 5D? Seems that the 40D would offer extra reach with telephoto lenses, costs less than another 5D. Thanks. > Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement to a > FF, like the 5D?

In general, to devote a whole newsgroup to one particular type of photographic sensing plane is pretty restrictive.....Basically, there is little difference between 35 mm cameras and small hand held digital cameras....They both produce the same results, and require the same auxiliary equipment (lenses, tripods, carry bags, and etc.) in order to get those results. What does it matter whether a photograph I see on my computer was taken with film and then digitized by a film scanner, or whether it was digitized directly inside the camera? In either case, I can't see it on my computer unless it is digitized by something, somewhere along the way. And, should I not want digitized photos, then I would be restricted to living at my local camera store, which is about what my father had to do. >>>> Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement to >>>> a FF, like the 5D?

You should have written this response to "Yoshi"......and not to me. I don't care how the final output is created (film or digital).

But since the 40D is part of Canon's 35mm-based DSLR system and uses the same lenses as my 35mm Fabulous EOS-1V, I guess I'll keep posting here. > > No mention of "film' in the group name.

SignatureMatthew Winn [If replying by mail remove the "r" from "urk"] > This newsgroup is for 35mm film photography. No. It's for 35mm format camera equipment from which most DSLR cameras are derived. IAC if the NG were limited to film only users it would get quite quiet in here very fast.

Digital SLR shooters have rec.photo.digital and rec.photo.digital.slr-systems. Why do they need to come to this group as well? >>> This newsgroup is for 35mm film photography. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >rec.photo.digital.slr-systems. Why do they need to come to this group >as well? To prevent any sensible discussion about film photogtaphy, of course! If you try to discuss film here, they wade in with ludicrous statements such as "film is dead" and "digital is better", neither of which are true! But it has the desired effect, and cuts short any discussion about film. There are other good film forums that you can sign up to use, such as the Analog Photography Users Group: http://www.apug.org/ > Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement to a > FF, like the 5D?

To me it makes perfect sense as long as you can get the "angle of view" you need (wide angle).

In that scenario, I'd consider the 5D as the backup. > Does it make sense to use a camera like a 40D as a backup/complement > to a FF, like the 5D?

It can be a good complement, if you do sports photography (for example), the x1,6 crop factor can be helpfull ! Signature<> Daniel Rocha | Photographie <> http://www.monochromatique.com |
