Hello from Germany

Hello,


my name is Thomas, I am 38 years old and from the Cologne area in Germany.

I am both collecting and shooting 35mm and medium format film cameras (in 35mm both rangefinder and SLR).
With M42 mount i have two Pentax Spotmatic F, one Pentax Spotmatic SP and a total of six Ricoh TLS401 (I inherited four of them recently from a friend of my partents). I already have some M42 lenses from Pentax (SMC-Takumar: 28/3.5, 35/3.5, 35/2.0, 50/1.4, 85/1.8; Super-Takumar: 55/1.8, Takumar 13/3.5) as I like the images they draw on film.
I think of maybe getting the Pentax 67 as my medium format SLR system as I do not like the ergonomics of the Hasselblad my brother owns.

As my second SLR System I have the Canon FD. My favorite camera for the FD system ist the (old) Canon F1n.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Welcome!

Do enjoy your stay with us.

As a former Canon owner, I understand your affinity for the F-1.
