Hello from a "new" user

Hi all,

I write "new" since I first resently registered on the forum but I have actually been here for several years but since I am primarily a Nikon shooter I have not registered before. Why I have registred now? I have missed shooting on film for a number of years a this year I finally took the step a switch back more or less completely to film again. Doing so also brought back my old Pentax Spotmatic (the original one with m42 screew mount) and all my old Takumar linses (from the days where lenses was built entirely of glas and metal) which is a joy to use. I have therefore also just bought a Z-1P (A real steal - $75 in nearly mint condition) because of some tips on the net that this is very good for focus assistent on manual lenses - in a number of situations you will miss shots without focus assistant - low light, action, birds etc. My first impressions is that this is a beast of a camera on par with the Nikon F100 which I also have.

To make a long introduction short: Analog is a way to regain new enthutiation

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all from Denmark

Welcome, Mir. You are joining several others going back to film and from what I read here, and in a few other places, the Spotmatic is quite the camera. When you get your film developed how about sharing a few of the photos here?
