I have been thinking about getting manual 35mm and film scanner and bought Nikon MF with 50mm (general pictures) and 100mm (I love to picture people.) from ebay. For a while I probably take some not-that-great pictures (I have some experience with 35 mm but it was all automatic. But I need to see how they work out.)
So my question is
1. Is the idea of develp the film and scan it to see the pics before I enlarge or print workable? My idea is to save some money associated with print every pictures I take and only enlarge the ones I like.
2. Any recommendation for the affordable film scanner? For a while I think I will stick to the 35 mm format not larger formats. I don't think I can stretch more than $500 for the film scanner. My quick search gave me some articles about DiMAGE Scan Dual III and II.
I don't have any plan to be dead serious about photography. I just want to have some memorable scenes on papers.
Thanks for every opinion in advance.
