Metro - how do you make digital files of your b/w negatives?
Do you scan them or do you use a projector, and then use a digital camera to make a picture of the projection?I never did that (back in the day it just stayed analogue if it started analogue),
but now I want to, and wondered how to go about it -
I'm interested in high quality, and in images that still look as 'analogue' as possible.Sorry if this is explained a bit circuitous.

^^ read through that whole site before buying an unused, boxed XA at the bay for less than sixty.
All the info you need to compare the different models - find out what you're after!
And don't listen to what they say about film on that site, it's outdated.
Got really nice results with Kodak Portra; Ektar too, though skin tones were a bit meh with the Ektar.
Also take a look at Ken's XA site - more 'professional'.When I was looking for a point and shoot some weeks ago I first fancied the Yashica
T3 with it's wonderful T*-coated f2,8/35 Zeiss lens, by the way.
Check those out, if autofocus is an option for you, they're sharrrrrp! -

Thanks a lot for your reply, clarifies a lot.
Basically, what I want to do in the near future, is shoot black & white on 35mm film
(due to limited funds, portability and some other aspects), then create a digital file of that for post / editing -
retaining as much of the 'analogue' feel as possible along the way, and in the end print that (digitally).
It surprised me that you apparently take good care choosing camera, film material and appropriate developing chemicals etc., but the jpg's on the net look really, well, quick & dirty (like the dress and hair of the lady on the right in the last picture you posted).
But, as you said, it's mainly for cataloguing, it makes sense.
