Although I'm not the type of person to join any old forum site I just had to join APUG after reading some of the friendly, interesting comments from APUG members.
I became interested in photography in 1978 as a hobby, buying into a Canon SLR system.
However, much to my shame I committed the cardinal sin of selling my gear during the 80's when money was very tight indeed. This is something I have always regretted.
After receiving an Olympus C-220 Zoom digital compact camera as a birthday present in 2003, this rekindled my interest in photography.
Yes I know that this is an outdated digital camera by today standards but it served me well until I was able to buy a Canon EOS-1V HS 35mm SLR.
I bought the camera on ebay (not my favourite website) where they seem to be giving them away and am now saving money for extra lenses. My intention is to expose B&W negative film, self process them and then to scan them into my PC and print them via a printer.
Due to my failing health I will not be building a darkroom again.
Nice meeting you all and thanks for all of your help in advance, Bob
