Good afternoon. I've been taking photographs for more than 35 years - on and off - most recently using Voightlander rangefinder cameras. When I first took up photography in the 1970's it was with a Praktica SLR system and I always hankered after a Pentax SLR (Spotmatic or K1000) but never got there.

I'll shortly be taking delivery of my first ever Pentax camera: A Pentax 67 - start big eh?

I'm sure I'll be posting lots of dumb questions in the Medium Format section while I get up and running.

Cheers
