Hi Folks.

Hello, I was a pro photographer in the 1960s and 70s before anyone ever heard of photoshop, digital, AF etc,. I trained with 5x4 glass plate cameras (Bloody heavy, you made every shot count) before being let loose with a Rolleiflex, at the end of my photographic career I was using Pentax 35mm kit along with a lot of other kit. I have maintained an interest and have a number of digital cameras including two Pentax DSLRs and a number of lenses (Pentax and Tamron) which I am trying to get the best out of. I have no doubt I will be asking for advice on using these lenses. Doubtless I can contribute for anyone wanting advice about "old time" kit.

Welcome, aye changed days now, less time spent fumbling about in the dark and then hours spent with a paint brush touching up the dust spots.
