Hello everyone,

I've been an apug member and lurker for a good while (and I've even bought stuff from the classifieds), but this is my first post. I'm a hobbyist and shoot mostly 35mm (Leica M) , and have recently started w/ a TLR (Minolta Autocord). I develop my my own B&W at home--Tri-X, Acros, and FP4+ are my favorites right now, souped in HC-110 or Rodinal--and have a hybrid darkroom that includes two enlargers and three scanners (for me that's a lot of equipment).

I'm also a member at rangefinderforum.com and photo.net. I have recently been enjoying reading this forum for the superb technical info on the analog side of photography.

Thanks!
jja

Hi.

You do realize that admitting to using Leica Ms open you to all kinds of reactions, positive and negative...

Cheers,

Roger (Leica user since 1970, M-user since '74)

Regardless of what kind of camera you shoot, welcome to APUG. Watch out for too much involvement- it will feed your need to shoot more, print more, buy more supplies, and drive you to try out new chemistry, film, techniques, and gear! But it's all good.

Hi Roger,

Yep, but hopefully not too many people will hold it against me.

Welcome from Brooklyn, NY.

You probably already know there is a very good group of photographers all around you in Texas. I've met a few and you are really lucky.

Welcome from North Texas. Those of us in the DFW area do get together every now and again, so look for the threads.
