Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I am a retired motor mechanic, my interests are cars, golf, (badly) and photography. When I was younger I shot film in B&W using Minolta and did my own developing and printing in Mum's laundry (much to her inconvenience). A long time away from the hobby then I took it up again a few years ago. I have Nikon stuff mostly, although I had collected a number of other lenses over the years. I use Photoshop but I have a number of other programs to use as and when they are required. I look forward to taking an active part in this forum, receiving help and and advice from members, and maybe offering help if I can.

Thanks for the welcome Lenf, I'm not frightened by technology but I do miss a proper brass radiator that can be soldered up rather than those new fangled alu jobs with silly plastic tanks that split.

Thanks, this Photoshop sure beats yellow, smelly, crinkled skin, but who wears gloves at 17?

Welcome to the Hog, Dardan. Your story is much like mine. Only difference is my darkroom was in a corner of the garage, Minolta, left for awhile, came back and Nikon. I'm glad you joined us. ;)

Welcome to the Force...
You have entered an addictive land of truths, myths, fantasies, ghosts, goblins and good old fashioned advice (whether you want it or not)...
Seriously though - the folks here have lots of good advice and a couple of days of experience and are willing share what they can - don't hesitate to ask detailed questions, in fact, the more details, the more accurate the answer ;)
A couple of links to help you navigate the forum and a couple of resources to hopefully answer your questions or guide you in your quest...
Looking forward to seeing some photos.

Thanks for the welcome Db, I had two bodies, an X-1 at first, then I went for the best and bought the top of the range XM. It cost me about a year's pay! Took so many photos in places the paint wore through to the brass. I could only afford film because I wound my own cannisters. I still have it.

Welcome to the family!
Thank you Linda, you all sound like a great family! I had to laugh though, just my luck because almost right away I came across a scruffy little dog at your front gate as I came in but I'm sure he is only the local stray! :D :D :D
