Default New from Germany

Hello Everyone!

I just found my way to this place as we had a discussion about film photography on DPReview. Somebody mentioned APUG as a good community to talk about anything about film.

I'm 41 years old and living in the southern part of Germany. I'm a fulltime photographer and travel often to the UK and the US, where I made good friends.
Like many of us, I had to start digital photography in 2002, because the clients liked digital stuff more and more. I still work with film when someone wants a black and white portrait or art photography.

My Filmcameras are a Rolleiflex 3,5f from the 1960's, almost new and my second one, which is my most used camera, is a Rolleiflex 2,8f from 1970. Both are with selen metering and Zeiss lenses. The films I use are TMax and Ilford Deltas. Sometimes I use C-41 processed films. When I use colour films, I like Kodaks Portra NC at most. I had a Contax 645 in the past, which was an awesome camera too.

That's all for now and i hope I will make a few new friends here.

Markus

Hi Markus, welcome from Hawaii. What part of Germany do you live in? I visited Lindau in 2003 and lived in Wertheim in 1979.

Hi Markus,

I am a German living in the UK!

If you ever travel in the Midlands, give me a shout - we will go for a beer and talk film!

Good to see you here

Ansgar
