Hello from Glasgow in Scotland

Hi all,

I gave up digital photography this year and started collecting vintage cameras, starting with a Pentax K1000 and Pentax KX, along with various lenses. I've been doing photography as a hobby for about 16 years now and really enjoying film photography, developing my own negs and making prints

William

Always good to see someone else from Scotland on the forums. There are plenty of people on here who also shoot film, usually as well as digital.

That's great gatorguy!

I've still much to learn with film photography, developing and printing, however enjoying the whole process and learning all the time

Thanks Jonathan, I don't dislike digital, honest

Felt at the time of my life I was ready to go back to black and white film and do my own prints, which I hadn't done for about 40 years. It's a fun process
