Hi all, My name is Tony. I am an 80 year old retired master goldsmith. I have been using my LEICA M-3 since 1968 and have recently entered the world of medium format using IKOFLEX,MAMIYA C-33,ROLLEICORD,AND AGFA BILLY COMPUR. I am always seeking information and advice as I refuse to sit in a rocking chair and vegetate. Speaking of vegetate I maintain a 40 ft x 60 ft vegetable and herb garden. That, photography and helping to look after 2 1/2 and 5 year old grandchildren keep me very active. My motto is "IF YOU REST YOU RUST". I look forward to interacting with members.

I like your attitude about life. Activity is very helpful, I just need a little more initiative to get out and do more.

AND welcome to the forum, glad to have you here.
