Hi all,

My name is George Curran, from Dublin Ireland, and I've recently joined the Forum.

I've just purchased a 2nd hand K10D (via the Forum) and it arrived yesterday!! (Thanks Piotr). Finger's crossed for some decent weather at the weekend, so that I can try out my new "toy".

Prior to jumping into the "digital age" I had been using a Pentax SFXn 35mm film camera which I have had since 1989. I used this extensively through the 1990s, particularly for taking photos at music concerts (bands). But recently I haven't had the free time (until now) to fully indulge my love of photography.

Looking forward to happy snapping again and to uploading a few shots to the Gallery.

Thanks,

George.

Welcome to the forum George.
We would also like to see some scanned film from you, we don't see that nearly enough here on the forum.

Welcome to the forum George
I switched to digital three years ago and finally packed up my darkroom after no more Ilford film rolls left in fridge.The cost of film, processing was high as well.
I rarely use film now but respect who have used film.
best wishes.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome.

Like Vikram, it was the high cost of film processing combined with falling digital camera prices which finally made me make the jump from film to SD card.

Looking forward to many years of contribution to the forum.

Cheers,

George.
