Hello,
My name is Gregg .. and I am a PHOTOHOLIC!
Yes, It all began in FEB. I decided to buy myself a B-Day present. Nothing fancy, just a simple Canon dSLR and macro lens. Well, one lens led to another, that led to another .. then it happened .. I decided to try a manual lens .. I remember it as if just a few months a go (cause it was).. that dreary April afternoon the mailman delivered me both an M42 adapter and a Takumar 50mm 1.4 .. OMG!! -- MANUAL LENSES ARE AMAZING!!! -- That was it, I was hooked!
While I do love digital bodies, (as you all know) there is no comparison to the analog lenses. Which I now have lost count of owning, as well as number film bodies. Which is why I have joined this fine community. Hoping with a little guidance from other similarly afflicted to get a grip on this dreaded affliction.
LoL, there you have it.. still new to things but I feel like I should have started a long time ago (I've been a graphic / web geek for 15 years). Either way I'm having a lot of fun learning!
To date I have successfully processed a couple rolls of the 35mm (B/W of course). Don't really know the formula I used but it worked and that was very exciting.. ; P -- I currently have a roll loaded in a Canonet QL17 and am awaiting the arrival of my newest addition - A Mamiya Super 645!
Any pointers for a newbie jumping into medium format .. ?
THANKS!!
