I'm semi-retired and self employed and rediscovering the joys of photography. Started out with the digital Nikon D2500 2 mp swivel lens 16 years ago then graduated to Nikon S70 with various lenses before going mirrorless with the Oly Omd Em1. Have since sold that outfit and am temporarily shooting with a used Canon SX50 HS. It's my intention to purchase a used K3 soon. I've already gotten the Asahi SMC Takumar 135mm f/3.5 m42 lens and the necessary adapter so I'm committed at this point to purchase the K3! I'll be looking to pick up some more legacy film manual focus primes.

Welcome! I grew up in Cincy, but have been in the Chicago Suburbs since 1995. Time flies.
I do miss Skyline and the other Cincinnati Chili parlors, though.

Thanks! I'm into Goetta, Graeter's and Montgomery Inn but not Skyline!

Thanks! The British Isles are on my bucket list for travel. I'd love to visit all of the churches and cathedrals that are there. And of course there's the countryside too.
