Post #4. Since I have to post my way out of the restriction, I think I should use this as an opportunity to introduce myself. Apologies first, because I will not be able to reply to any welcome message, even in my own thread, until I get 25 posts under my belt.
Have been a long time amerteu photographer and long time FM reader. You probably could guess my age if I tell you my first camera was a Minolta X-700 when I was in high school. Have stayed in Minolta land until after my first DSLR - Konica-Minolta 7D, and then migrated to Canon 5D. I have also used many film bodies (Minolta, Leica, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Contax, and Mamiya) in the last 20 years. Although I still have a few film cameras in my collection, I am 100% digital now. I think I still have a few rolls of 220 in my freezer, but have stopped developing my own slides about 10 years ago.
I am mostly interested in kids photo (but they have grown up), landscapes, travel, floral macro, and recently developed interests in birding. I am the family photographer, but sometimes shoot events for friends or church as a volunteer or voluntold. I found less time to enjoy shooting, because of work, but nonetheless always try to plan family vacation with photography opportunities in mind. I am probably also a gearhead by most people's standard with a love in well designed mechanics such as Leica M3, Rolleiflex TLR and cars. I currently shoot a SONY A7RII, Canon 5D III, Leica M9-P, and a bunch of glasses.
Glad to join the forum!
