Marion From NY

Hi, I am Marion from Upstate NY. I am a new retiree and have been doing photography most of my life. My first SLR was the Pentax ME. I've used Canon, Nikon and Sony digital cameras. Currently use a Nikon D750. Wish someone would make a FF DSLR and lenses the size of the old film Pentax ME and Olympus OM systems. I do a lot of landscape and flower photography but also dabble in BIF and fast moving grandkids. Hope to try some long exposure night shots and some Astrophotography.

From a fellow retiree, welcome. I joined recently, and am so glad I found this group of great folks.

You will find that we are good looking, well mannered, intelligent, and sometimes full of BS. Welcome.

While the Nikon Df is larger than the old film cameras, it is a FF DSLR that is thinner and lighter than other FF DSLRs. Also, the Olympus PEN-F--a Micro Four Thirds camera--is about the same size as an Olympus OM-1.

Thanks for suggesting the Nikon DF. I check out size and weight compared to D750. Might be a good additional when funds are available.

Thanks to everyone for your welcome! I have been reading the forum for a while, so I'm sure it's a positive and supportive group. Thanks again.
