my name is peter i am in my sixties (just) i had my first pentax a spotmatic afew years ago (not telling how long). iam afraid it give up the ghost last year forcing me to go digital so i bought a k10 for my 60th if it lasts as long, iwill have had two slrs in my life time, and my wife dares say i am tight with money, by the way i come from South Wales (GB) not Scotland if youre wondering. now that the ice is broken ill speak to you again.
Welcome Peter, you obviously look after your equipment rather than being tight (make sure your wife sees this).
We look forward to seeing some of your photos.
