Hello from SE Pennsylvania

Brand new to this forum, but I'm always happy to learn from those who are more experienced than me, especially if they are civil about it!
I've been taking pictures for most of my life. When I was about 17 my uncle gave a bag full of Leicas! (Yes, I do realize that is the kind of thing one can only dream about.) I used those for about 30 years, then had kids and switched to digital because it was easier. Now the kids are gone, and I'm getting back into film. And just recently I discovered the joy of medium format.
I suppose I am a bit of a retro guy, not for retro's sake, but because I love anything that has stood the test of time (manual cameras, mechanical watches, steel framed bikes, straight razors...).
I plan on taking the plunge into developing soon, and will likely encounter all sorts of unknowns. There is so much to learn in one lifetime!

Funny, all these SE PA shooters. I grew up in Delaware County. Managed a Camera shop for awhile before going full time into photography

Welcome to the forum. Born and raised in Allentown, but now living in Connecticut, land of high taxes (don't ask). Some great photo opportunities at the Steel Stacks in Bethlehem.

Camera Shop Inc. Lawrence Park, then Springfield Mall, then The Camera Shop on the Main Line (the 2 owners were brothers)
