I have "played" at photography since the 60's. Started with a Yashica TLR then a Canon AE-1. Moved to Pentax when my wife got one as a 30 year momento from Honeywell. Went to digatal with *istD then K10D. I am now getting back to film with a Hassy 500C I just bought from KEH.
Welcome to the APUG world Ed. You will find a lot of great people in here that love to share their camera and photo experiences and stuff. I used to live down in Cape Coral, FL back in the 80's, now living back in the cold cold northern wilderness of Indianpolis. Brrrrr. Dont be bashful, just join right in and share your experience, or ask questions if you are trying to learn something new. And have fun too.
I just last week sold my deceased grandfather in laws Yashica A tlr. It still worked fine, and I had ran a few rolls through it last year, but I didn't feel it was being loved enough.
It went to a young guy who wanted a meduim format camera where he was all the brains in the exposure, but with more control than his other MF camera - a Holga.
Glad you have found us - there are tons of great people to network with here.

I plan to have the Yachica TLR cleaned and take it out for a spin for old times sake. It is a 635 (35mm attachment). It is now just a "toy". The Hassy will be my real MF camera.
