nice L lens, but a macro lens would be better

Not quite everyone is totally digital, if you’re really into photography it’s a crime not to learn handling film and developing photos by yourself

That is very very clever. Quality should be enough good for web usage. Awesome idea, thx.

You are right I would normally use a 100mm macro but because not everyone has a long macro lens I used a more common wide angle because of its close focusing distance. On the 50D (cropped sensor) zoomed into 40mm there is no distortion.

you’ll get better detail with an 100mm macro because you’ll get closer and less barrel distortion than the 17-40mm.
Using a non-destructive adjustment layer (channel mixer, etc.) would give you better control over your B&W conversion rather than Desaturating because the film has a purple tint.
Other than those two things, great tut!
