Hi all,
Just joined this site and having an enjoyable time looking through the various threads and what not.
Been a Pentax user since the early eighties starting with a K1000 followed by an ME Super. Both bought new at the time, I remember saving for what seemed like ages for the ME Super. Eventually moved onto a K20D which I had for the past 6 years. Superb camera. Over the last year though I found I was photographing less and less - just didn't have the enthusiasm for some reason.
I've long thought about going back to film so in the last month I sold the K20D and the various lens and with the proceeds I've got myself a peach of an MX with a good selection of Pentax SMC M prime lenses. I had enough left to convert my shed into a darkroom with a Meopta Opemus 3 enlarger and the rest of the darkroom bits and peices you need.
I shoot black and white so I will also be developing film again - just like the old days!
After a brief spell of 'Oh my god what have I done!' that last lasted about 60 seconds I'm champing at the bit to get out now - just the crap weather and man flu holding me back......
all the best
Steve
