New guy here. Greetings from Oregon

I just found this little convocation a few minutes ago and have joined.

I'm in the process of getting back into this great hobby and am presently shooting both DSLR and film—the latter because I'm old and a bonifide Luddite. Learned on film when I was in the service in the 60's in Vietnam and bought my first and only SLR, a Pentax Spotmatic, which I still shoot with from time to time. Darn thing's built like a tank.

Lately I've been picking up all kinds of great glass in M42 Takumar because it's so cheap and of excellent quality. So now I'm experimenting using vintage lenses with my DSLR. (Don't laugh. It works!)

Anyway, cheers to all.

Bob

Handshake: Good to meet you. I am also a boB and from Oregon. Welcome aboard.

So after so many years of doing this or that and life itself getting in my way, I am now at the point where just slowing down and doing things I have put off I have concluded that its time to become creative and do what I want.
Thanks for giving me a place to get started. :-)
