Just finished my first roll and waiting for the result of the 2nd roll.
Very satisfying I must say. Makes me think before shooting unlike going digital and click indiscriminately.
The MF x700 is way more fun than the AF 600si
Yes, with film SLR cameras, one will have to be on their toes. It is the thinking of all possible angles and functions like f-stop, EV, lightting , focusing - spot ot metered, picture composition, angle of pic etc before you decided to press the shutter.
It is take the picture "Right the First time", IMO.
Nowadays, with a DSLR, one can just take multiple shots and later chhose the best picture. For me there is no thrill in getting the right picture the first time. (Of course, with a DSLR there are other advantages, like convenience, no need to buy extra roll of film etc).
