For most photos I use a Nikon D800 with a Nikon 85mm/1.8 lens. I also have the Sigma 24-70mm/2.8 and 70-200mm/2.8 (great for outdoor portraits). For some of the old macro photos I had a Nikon D7000 which I upgraded to the D800 after a few months because I wanted to try a full frame sensor and the 36 megapixels sounded great for creative cropping.
For the last post I used a Polaroid 250 Land Camera (there is information on it at the bottom of the post) but the discontinuation of the film that I use has meant that I can't really use it anymore.
Oh nice, you've got a 250! I've got a 230 myself - same film. Yeah, that film is hard to come by these days, and any you find is expired beyond belief now.
I've been considering getting a new polaroid through https://us.impossible-project.com. They've got some killer products and make the film for not only their new cameras, but for some old-school Polaroids as well....just not ours.
Yes it's sad that FP-3000B was about £10 each when I bought it. A few weeks later it went to £20 when it got discontinued, now it is £40 or more if you can find it. The expired film is also not great (compared to other stock) - due to it's construction it tends to fall apart in a catastrophic way which makes shots unusable. Of my last stocks that I had I think out of about 10 packs I only got 20 useable shots. It is heartbreaking because some of the best shots were ruined because of the film falling apart, peeling incorrectly, or chemical malfunctions.
