Hi from Campbelltown

Douggie M · 03-07-2018, 04:22 PM

Hello everyone,

To introduce myself I'll start with my cameras, I have a K5 and the following film cameras, an MX, an ME Super and a Super A all of which I use.

I'm not a good photographer but the cameras take some great shots, I just happen to be pointing them in the right direction.

I am looking forward to spending my spare time reading my way through all of the reviews and posts.

Mick Douglas.

G'day Mick,

Welcome to the forums.

You've got a good array of cameras there, I still have my K5 and reckon it's a brilliant piece of kit.

Enjoy your time here mate.

Two fewer letters and I would be asking if you knew a friend of mine from Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada. Welcome to PentaxForums!

Hi from Campbelltown

Welcome to the forum from the Highlands of Scotland.

The Campbeltown down the road from me is spelt slightly differently... but it was once a major producer of whisky with as many as 28 distilleries and hence it claimed the title "whisky capital of the world"

Thanks for the welcome. Your Campbelltown sounds like a fun place (Whiskey Capital).

Another hobby is trying to trace family my tree. With the surname Douglas (used to have double SS) I think there might be some connection to Scotland. Hoping to get there in the next year or two.

There's also Campbell Town in Tasmania, as well as the OP's Campbelltown in NSW.
