Thanks for the welcome gents.
The smell of the chemicals can be adictive. I gave up my home made darkroom earlier this year. A friend of mine has just got PhotoshopCS5 and gave me his old copy of CS2. So the digital darkroom is new to me. But I'll get into it soon enough.

No, neither did the other one.
Although I do have an eagle in flight tattood on my chest.

I will be going "bug hunting", to hone my macro skills around my own garden and in the afternoon, probably Cannock Chase to hunt some deer.

Hi,
My name is Ed and I have been a Pentax user for many years. I have, and still use, a P50 with several lenses.
About 3 years ago I bought an iSTDL with two Sigma Lenses. My old Pentax P50 lenses fit, although I have to use manual focus, but this isn't a problem, as it has taught me more about photography, patience, and not to rely too much on auto-everything.
I have been an avid photographer for many years, if I can help with any advice just give me a shout.
