Glad to be here from the UK

[alistair.o]

Hello all,

My name is Alistair. I live in Dales area of the UK (NE Derbyshire).

I have been enjoying taking digital images using a Nikon D200 and assorted glass (including AI & AIS e.g. 28mm 2.8; 105mm 2.5).

But, I had this 'monkey on my back' which would not let me rest and needed seeing to i.e. film photography. I have on loan (with a view to buying) a black 1970 Nikon F Photomic FTn (it is 'mint-' in all respects so far).

Looking forward to sharing my failings and of course, my successes!

Thank you for reading.

Alistair

Sitting off to one side is another ape waving medium format at you. Look a little harder, and you'll spy a 300lb gorilla lumbering along with a large format system.. Now that you've fed his baby brother, there is no going back

Hi there,
Welcome to the home of the reprobates!

Having myself recently been caught by the "medium format" ape waving a tasty Hasselblad at me I am relying on the "large format" gorilla being weighed down with darkslides, huge tripods, dark cloths, lens panels, loupes etc that even at a reasonable walking pace I can keep him at a distance. If he does finally catch me I shall ask for an explanation of the Scheimfplug effect and make my escape as his head explodes!

Have fun and welcome back to the darkside!
