I gladly welcome C & C's. Being foggy minded they really help me learn.

New pentax user here, I've retro-graded (not sure if its down or up yet) from digital to film. I have a Canon 20D which I wanted a nice fast prime for and bought a super Takumar 50mm f1.4 and M42->EOS adapter. I was so impressed I bought the 35mm f3.5 wanting something a bit wider and the S-M-C 135mm f3.5. So with all this glass I then had to buy a 'proper' camera to try it on and landed a cheap Spotmatic F which is part way through its first roll of film to see if all is good with it. Digital is still very handy for instant shots and learning but I am really liking the tactile feel of the spotmatic it feels more like a proper camera (which probably means more like my dad's old Nikon FE2 I remember borrowing).
So be nice, as there will be many questions.
