Hi! Somehow, while reading photo.net I stumbled on a link to this website. My speciality is ethnographic photography, particularly Latin America. Currently I am a mix of film and digital, but prefer the former. My most recent purchase was a Nikon D70s, but my favorites are a Nikon F100 and an FE2 teamed with prime lenses. I find my field workflow much faster with an aperature ring and switching primes, than delving into menus with a dSLR. My main gripe about the dSLR is the fear of switching lenses in the field, re. - dust on the sensor.

My main films are Fuji Astia 100F and Reala 100. I was beginning to feel obsolete until a stumbled on to this website. My next trip to Mexico I'll take the D70s for medium and long, but the F100 or FE2 for wides (where I do most of my shooting). I use a Nikon Coolscan 4000 to scan my slides or
negatives.

You can check out my images at the following websites:

Again, happy to have discovered this site. I'll be checking in daily.

Hi Paul, welcome from Hawaii. I'm glad you found us, I was on photo.net today and saw the threads recommending APUG. Don't worry, hang around here for sometime, and we will convince you to hang up the digi-cam.
 
Welcome from Rio Rancho, Gene.
 
Welcome Gene. APUG is a great place and I think you'll enjoy it.

I used to be up the road in Corpus Christi. I left about six weeks before the big snow. That would have been something to see.
