    Hello from Cheshire, UK

    Hello, my name is Carl and I live in Cheshire.

    I purchased my first 35mm SLR, a Pentax MX, back in 1983 and about two years later I started working in a photographic shop. It was here where I learnt how to process and print black & white films.

    A couple of years after leaving in 1989, I changed over to Nikon and now use FM2's with various AIS lenses which I've managed to buy over the years. I tend to use only black & white nowadays, very rarely use colour, and enjoy processing my own films when I have some free time.

    I still enjoy photography today as much as I did when I was first introduced to it. Digital photography has never interested me whatsoever. So, as long as companies such as Ilford continue to manufacture films and chemistry, I will carry on with my hobby.

    I should point out that even though I have been doing photography for a few years now, it is purely a hobby. I am certainly not a professional and I feel there is always something new to learn. I hope to be able to offer advice to other members whenever I can, but I'm just as likely to be asking too.

    Thank you very much for reading this.

    All the best,

    Carl.

    Welcome to APUG from Montreal, Canada. I am sure you will find a lot of interesting tips and you will learn a lot, I do myself everyday I am around here.
    - Note to self: Next time processing a film, take notice of the shape of the beer bottle and the shape of the fixer bottle, and note the differences. -

    Welcome Carl. I'm from Cheshire too, west end of the county. Into 135, 120, 6x9 and 5x7 formats, though I don't have anything like as much time as I would like to spend in the darkroom!
