Hello, I am an amateur photographer with many years of experience with film cameras, including darkroom experience with black and white & infrared. I never got into color work in the darkroom, but I shot a lot of color film. I've had some experience with multiple formats up to 4 x 5 but mostly 35mm using Pentax SLRs. My photography hobby was interrupted by a 26 year career in the U.S. Navy as a steam propulsion plant engineer at both the enlisted and commissioned officer levels. I am now retired. For a long while I was limited to point and shoot digital, my most recent point and shoot was a Fuji HS-10. I just recently got back into using a Pentax K-x DSLR. I am considering a Pentax K-P or K-3 II (I've heard some bad comments about the K-P's grip not being very good.)
It is good to be here. I have a lot to learn - these digital cameras with their multiple menus, uber fast shutter speeds, huge ISO settings and other things are much more complex than the film SLRs I was used to,
I've rambled on enough - it is way late and way past my bed time.
My best regards to everyone in this forum!
Later,
Mike
