Hey guys!!!
Excellent job of the web-site!! I'm curious as to what formats and makes are your cameras??
I sorta envy anyone who is beginning their dream, at a relative young age. I, on the hand, have always considered myself a "late-bloomer" for nearly everything, including what I want to 'do' with my life!! But, at least, I'm attempting something : photography, my current passion!!

All the very best to both of you!!!

Thank you very much for your nice words.

We both use mainly (I exclusively) 35mm manual film cameras (Nikon, Leica), lenses 24mm to 50mm primes, cheapest colour negative you can find (we just bought 120 rolls of outdated Fuji from ebay; total amount 0,40 EUR per roll) and my main film has been ADOX 400 B&W for a couple of years souped in xtol. Really basic stuff. Some stuff is digital, but I don't have digital camera anymore and even if Jussi have his D70 Nikon, he has been shooting quite exclusively with film for a long time.

I consider myself also as a "late bloomer", I started shooting at the age of 26. And now I'm almost 30...noooooooo!!

Best regards,
Petri

Dude, you're just a "spring chicken" compared to my age--I just celebrated my 49th! I am certainly not like many women my age who 'shy away' from stating their age: I'm rather proud I survived this long!!
