I've been poking around the site here for a few weeks. Learned a lot and have enjoyed it. Since I retired as of January 1st, I have decided to pick up my old photography hobby. It can be an expensive one.

Welcome, congratulations on retirement! This is a great site as you've already seen. What kind of equipment are you using? Old film, digital, or a mix?

Tom,
Thanks for the welcome. I bought a K100D when they first came out. Until last month, I had not touched it for 2 or 3 years. I have the two "kit" lenses (18-55 and 50-200), and picked up an "A" 50 mm lens for next to nothing recently. I have a lot of old Minolta film equipment collecting dust.... Just sayin'..... Thanks again for making me feel welcome.
