My plastic fantastic is the Nikon N80. Put the Voigtlander 40mm SL II on it and I get full matrix metering, manual controls (or auto exposure), beautiful images and pancake form factor. Or toss on any AF-D Nikkor for auto focus. Fuss free!

Can you offer any encouragement to this slide film enthusiast? Opening the lab envelope and unfurling that sheet of little blue jewels is the essential film experience, but it’s becoming unsustainably expensive, and my favourite film, Provia 100F, is now hard to find at any price. Is anyone going to make things easier or more affordable for me, or should I just learn to love negative film instead?

Really great questions! I think I’ll save the answers for my next “AMA” article.

Given your vast experience, I’m wondering:

Which (not toy or entry point-and-shoot) camera did you keep going back to, hoping it wouldn’t disappoint you the next time around, only to conclude that it’s just not going to ever deliver the promised goods?

Same theme: which film stock (not expired or lomo specialty) felt like a waste of effort over and over again? Thanks!

I’ve owned 2 A7 bodies. Have you had any trouble with the door latch? The film door on my second A7 doesn’t shut tight – you can kind of pry it open.

I’d love to use the Noblex! Maybe I can find one for sale.
