Hello from northern Italy

antoniomontag · 05-22-2007, 03:11 AM

Joined this morning.

Living between Milan and Como Lake, not far from the Alps.

Started a long ago with ME-Super, then quit photography for a while, two years I got A 1stDs and re-started take photos, using some old lens, the DA18-55 kit lens a brand new Zenitar 16. Planning to but a medium/long zoom lens for sport wildlife

I find that experience in the darkroom (recently dismantled) is very important

Saronno is located about 15 km north of Milan. It is a small town where most people commute to/from Milan .
If you have a map of Italy and you draw a line between Milan and Lake of Como, we are located where the middle point of the line is...
And ifyou travel by plane to Milan, you will find Saronno on the railway connecting Milan airport and Milan downtown!!!!

Ross

I got mine more than one year ago.
I didn't use very often because my subjects are mainly landscape, sport.

Anyway, it is a good bargain.I will try to post a shot on dedicated forum.
Did you get it by Victor???

Hi Antonio:

Got the Zenitar on EBAY from Kabacan East (EWP Sales).
By the way my wife's sister lives in Brugherio outside of Monza.

The world is really small....

Brugherio is 20 km east of my town...I used to attend racing car events in Monza (when I was young and I didn't mind to come back home fully wet after many hours of rain..)
