So while my 10D is in the shop getting a new spoiler I thought I'd revisit film. Now I love my Sigma 10-20mm but its designed for a 1.6x sensor, or is it? Well it is. At 10mm you get this;

However at 13mm you get this;

Idea. Its not as bad at 13mm. I doubt you'd even see the lens during gigs, which I hope to try on Friday using Ilford 3200. I'm off to Snowdon tomorrow with some new film so today I decided to go for a walk around Liverpool. With some cropping and tweaking I was able to remove the lens for the most part. It was nice to be out on a sunny day with a "compact" camera (no battery grip) just taking some shots. Been a while since I just wandered.

Very nicely done :) I was impressed to find that my 18-70mm Minolta AF DT actually fits on my 35mm Minolta 7000 and works although I expect I'll get the same results (kind of) if I attempted to use the 1.5x lens on my film body.

#1, #4 and #7 are my favourites.

Yer its good to know that it is *technically* useable. It was always the debate between the Sigma 12-24 and the 10-20. 12-24 is FF compatible and the 10-20 is filter compatible. Glad I can work around it, well in black and white. I'm not sure how easy it will be to remove it from colour film.
 
These are fantastic, cyKey :D

They all have that "film" look, which is nigh on impossible to reproduce with digital.

Most impressive. And the distortions of shots 5,7 & 8 are just marvellous. Very, very impressive :)

So, if you're shooting at 13mm, that makes it equivalent to about 8 or 9mm on a crop body? Nice :D

I guess it will be more complicated actually! But now I'm itching to try it [the 18-70mm digital lens] out on my film camera...although with £11-£12 development costs, for my FP4+ Ilford 125 stuff, I am not sure whether it would be a good idea!

Cheers :) 8.125mm on a 1.6x crop. Its just uber wide.

Yer its expensive doing film, such a shame. I'm sure it will be more complicated too. Its easy with black and white, but trying to remove black corners from a blue sky will be tricky so I'm not going to rely on the lens tomorrow unless I shoot bw.

Very nice. Film just looks so real. I really do enjoy film. I am going to invest in a Canon Film SLR one day. At the moment I have a Pentax Super ME and a Sigma SA7.

I cant remember which brand of 3200 I used some years ago but produced very high film grain. I think it was T-Max. The best I have used is PanF but thats only speed 50 I believe.
 
Thanks for doing this. I have the 10D and this lens, and have never seen what it looks like on full frame. I am relieved that it will not damage the shutter on a full frame camera like some EF-S lens will.

I don't know if I will keep the lens if I ever go to full frame though.
 
I love your shots, especially 3, 5, 6.

As a matter of interest, do you develop your own b&w film? If not, who do you use?

We have dark room equipment at home but never have the time to use it properly but still love using b&w film. My wife is a big fan of Ilford 3200.
 
Nice pics Cykey :) No. 1 is just great! I fancy shooting off some V. fast B&W and pushing it a stops or two ... I just love that grainy look.

Cool old school SLR :) It was my second ever SLR I got 21 years ago. Was great until I dropped it on it's head :(

Ilford 3200 you will need to get sent off somewhere. I hear Peak Imaging are good. I shoot Ilford XP2 C41 film so I can drop it into Boots and get 1hr processing with a photo cd.

Cheers for the comments guys :) Nice to know that it wasn't my 10D doing all the work :D
 
Yup it is great isn't it, was using the 18-70 nikkor on the Nikon F4 the other day and it's quite awesome through the viewfinder, very wide and strange.

Btw the F4 is a beast of a camera, you know the shutter burst at the start of girls on film by duran duran? that's it! so fast ¬_¬
 
i do photgraphy at college and we have our own darkroom and we only ever shoot b & w - i use a cheapo 1000f and a sigma 28-80 macro - its a decent set up for what i do, we develop all out own gear, we can develop illford 3200 :) - ive got a spare 36 roll sat in my draw that ive been saving for a special occasion - think i may go walk about 1 day :D

btw - what body did you use? - either im blind or you didnt metion it
