Well I went out and got 4 rolls of 400 ISO film, used 3 of the getting used to it. I'm a bit disappointed though, I paid $50 for an 80-200mm lens and something is wrong with it so all the pictures I take with it are screwed up. I took every element out and cleaned them but still it doesn't work right. Oh well..

Here are some of the better ones..

This one is just kinda funny.. Learn to spell please.. xD


















Please give me some comments and any help would be greatly appreciated, I want to try and get better and I'm not so good at doing that by myself..

The windmill photo is beautiful. How did you find shooting film compared to digital?

What's not working right with your lens?

I think I actually like film more then digital, aside from the wait, but I can't afford the prices of film and getting it developed so I'm stuck with digital mostly.. I've only got one roll of film left.

I'm not exactly sure whats wrong, when I look through the view finder every thing is darker, it's a bit clouded and has a brown tint.

Yeah, film itself is relatively cheap, but processing costs suck, it's, in my opinion, far more satisfying to use than digital.

Have you checked your viewfinder? The photos look like they turned out ok, so it doesn't seem to be the lens.

That's because all of the photos here are taken with a 1.7/f 50mm lens, the 80-200mm is the one with the problem. I looked back through my photos and the problem seems to only be in low light, I took a few in bright sunlight and it turned out ok after some processing.

Ah. Absolutely no idea where the problem might be coming from, is there anywhere you can take it to have it looked at?
