I wanted to post a quick hello here before I start restating it in other posts. :)
I've been reading posts here for the last few weeks and finally decided to dive in. ApUG has already been a great resource and I look forward to contributing.
About 12 years ago, I did a lot of shooting with a Canon A1. Unfortunately, it started eating rolls of film at an alarming rate and my day job got busy. I set it down and focused on work for a little while. Fast forward 7 years and I found myself craving a creative outlet again. I picked up a Nikon D70s and got back into shooting; Seattle has a great photography community.
Over the holidays, I purchased a kindly photographers backup kit - initially for the lenses and strobe. It included a F4s. I fell in love immediately with it and haven't been shooting with much else since. It is the first professional build camera. And my goodness, the viewfinder! I can focus manually again!
After a recent photo stroll with a Seattle group, I found myself picking up a Rolleicord IV for myself. And then my wife expressed an interest a Polaroid camera so we picked up a 450.
Film photography grabbed us both and I don't see it letting go.
