New to forum intro

Hi,
I lurk here primarily but I've found the forum valuable and wanted to contribute some reviews with images to help others considering gear. This forum is a great asset for Pentax users so I'd like to say thank you. It can be hard to find samples and reviews for certain pieces of gear.

I only shoot film currently and have never tried digital, I'm too hooked on the nostalgia and the delayed gratification of waiting for images to come back from the lab or seeing how scans come out. I use the 645N (FA versions of the 75, 120, 150, thinking of finishing the kit with the 35 and the 105 67 next) and some M42 lenses on 135, though I don't (yet) own any pentax/takumar in that category. Cheers!

Welcome! Film is magical, still, for certain. I've shot it off and on for a long time but develop my own B&W now for a few years and love it.

Welcome from New Zealand!
There is certainly something about using film. I now, almost exclusively, shoot digital but I understand why and you will find plenty of people here who shoot mainly film.
