Default Hello
Hi,

I am fron Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I wanted to have a change from Digital. I am
a digital nikon person. The weight required to be carried to persue my hobby
led me to the M8. From there the next step was the MP. So here I am
a 50+ persob trying to learn analog, because somehow I find it more
to my liking ( or perhaps trying things i could not afford in my youth ).

I am interested in bw film, and maybe later shall delve into developing
it. right now capturing an image is my priority.

What better way then to start my journey, then a trip to England
with my wife next week!

I have everything to learn ( and fast ), so please bear with my for my
novice questions.

Best regards.

Welcome.
Ask away, and also use the "search" feature, there is loads of info on just about every film and darkroom topic.
