Any photographers in here?

Ya it's nice but 16mm is kinda useless and still gives quite some distortion on the edges. The 2.8 is nice but you aren't shooting landscapes at 2.8 anyways or else you're not going to get the details in the depths of your pictures. It's got good edge sharpness but I been reading that it still has bad chromatic aberration. Well..I'd wait for more reviews to come out before getting one.
 
subspeed6 satisfied that rule of thumb for the second and third pictures that are actually showing me the EXIF. I think his problem was that he is shooting a moving target in a dark space with a slow lens. (For example ISO3200 F4 1/20 @ 24mm on the last picture)

I know every time I try and take pictures of my dog she runs at me which makes it more difficult.

Right, BUT as soon as you start getting real close to that limit it becomes harder and harder to hold the camera steady enough to get a clear shot. I know I can only shoot my 50mm at 1/50 if I am very well planted and holding my camera correctly as I don't have very steady hands. I tend to bump that limit up to 1/80 or so. Any slower than that and it's very difficult for me. I suppose it has something to do with the steadiness of the person shooting.
 
I buy my film off of amazon.com actually haha. they store the film I use in their PA warehouse and being in MD, it's all next day shipping usually if they have it in stock. Once I managed to buy all but 2 rolls I could find in the country lol. Kodak BW400CN Professional ISO 400 is the film I use for B&W, it's a really high quality film for being able to be printed at any one hour processing place. I'm quite happy with it actually saying I dont have a black room I can use anymore.

Another one of my films, also untouched

awesome man, I love the blacks on the shadows, great comp too. I wish I had more time to do film, but I couldn't agree with you more, I've been working with a dslr for two years and I find myself never being satisified with anything, Im going to leave it as a vacation camera and get back to the darkroom. I've always used kodak or illford. B&H online for the person that asked. I'll see if I have some prints scanned on my computer later. I think I have some from last year.
 
Snow on the tree in my back yard.

thanks man. I used to use Illford tmax400 when i had access to a dark room, but now I have to use the film that can be processed. I'm not upset about it because I've been able to get some good shots out of it. Color film is a little more of a pain for me though, very few pictures have come out to my likings. Here's two:
