Hello from San Jose, CA

mikSJ · 05-26-2015, 05:19 PM

I am a retired transwoman wanting to get into pro work full-time. I am not new to photography (shot TechPan 2415 through an OM-1 in the 80s) but I decided to go pro for portrait and second camera wedding work.

I joined this forum as I would like to eventually get into a Pentex 645 but also want to consider the newer Pentax DSLRs, specifically the forthcoming FX 36mp camera. I have been with Nikon since the D50 and currently use Nikon Equipment (D90/Nikkor / 18-200mm /f3.5 - 5.6 / Nikkor 12-24mm f/4.0).

I hope to contribute what I can.
