The D50 was the model I chose as an entry level.  I liked the Tamaron

These were taken with the peleng 8mm fisheye. I had to swap the exif data
from a ZD fisheye shot before studio would let me apply the fisheye

slow film to show less grain, but would something that has a lot of
color saturation be good to use as well?
Any suggestions on film choice?
