Hello from Georgia, USA!

Glad to part of this awesome community! I'm a photographer by trade, and one of my passions is the history and evolution of photography and cameras. I guess that's a fancy way of saying I collect cameras and other old photo stuff. I began my career over 27 years ago shooting and processing film. And even though everything I do for my "day job" is using digital SLRs, I have recently returned to shooting film for fun and discipline.

I have cabinets and drawers full of old camera systems that I shoot with. But I recently acquired my first Pentax - an early version Honeywell Spotmatic. Man, that is a great camera! I liked it so much that I have picked up a Spotmatic II and a Honeywell H1 since then. Of course I'm going to run into issues with these old machines, so I figured it made sense to join the forum and mingle with the real Pentax experts.

Hello, and welcome to your new home
I know next to nothing about film, but there are plenty on that do.
Looking forward to seeing some of your photos and probably learning from you too.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Derek. Excited to be here!

Hello and welcome

I also have no real knowledge of film but will help if I can

HI from Leicester

Welcome from London!

My film experience (mainly slides) has carried over into my digital photography, insofar as I strive to get it right in camera every shot, but whilst most of my efforts are technically good I still take poorly composed snapshots. Digital just lets me take more of them!

Hello and Welcome to the Forum!

I discovered early on in digital that it was very similar to shooting slide film, so I know exactly where you're coming from. Overexposure is the sworn enemy of both. Today I love my histograms! I gravitate to the technical side myself 😀
