Hi everyone

Hi to everyone from beautiful Northumberland in Northern England.
Home to lots of sheep, a gorgeous river, fantastic (if chilly) beaches, a tragically under-performing football club and a really big old wall.
I have been using Pentaxes for about 35 years, starting with an MG, then fell of the rails for a bit and went with Olympus but rejoined the path of righteousness with a Super A about 20 years ago.
i have had a Kx for about 8 years and have recently been given a P30.
I'm suddenly feeling the love for photography again and want to try and expand my knowledge and solve any snags I hit along the way and this seems a good way to do it.
Even feeling the urge to get that Spotmatic I always fancied!

Hi Neil, and welcome to Pentax Forums. It is indeed a lovely part of the world you live in (speaking as a cool-temperate climate dweller, myself).

Nice that you’re shooting both film and digital – my many film Pentaxes don’t get much attention, these days.
