I've always had an interest in photography but have never done anything until a recent event opened the flood gates.
This forum has been a resource on researching some specific stuff and seems to have a great community and wanted to join.

Since buying my friends Promaster 2500 PK Super (35mm SLR) and extra's (tripod, lens, bag, etc) I've expanded my collection.

My primary current interest is SLR Manual 35mm. Being forced to think about aperture, shutter speed, composition, depth of field, lighting helps with my other new hobby of learning how to draw / sketch.
I can see color film developing becoming expensive in a few years so I tracked down an Pentax isp DL so I can still use all my lens.

Digital

Pentax isp DL w/ < 10,000 clicks
Tokina SD 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 PKA.

35mm

Pentax Spotmatic SP
Pentax Spotmatic F (On the way

)

Pentax ME Super
ProMaster 2500 PK Super

Lens
I went a bit overboard..
I love the Super Takumar m42 lens and have a 28, 35, 50, 55 and 135.
I have a variety of PK mount lens for the Spotmatic/Promaster.

I've learned a lot in a short time but still have a long way to go.
