Hi first time "posting" (actually 2nd time now) but have lurked abou a year or so. Definitely more entertaining and as educational (in a different way) than Nikonians, where I also mostly lurk.

Brief background: former art major primarily oils and watercolors, some sculpture got heavily into photograhy in 70s with an FM from that to 8008 briefly then N70, F100, D300 to D800E. Also an F2, F3, F4 and FM3a bought because I wanted them, lately shot a few rolls, but film has changed and gotten expensive, not to mention all the Pro Labs seem to be gone. Also have a Zenza Bronica medium format and had a Mamiya medium format but put it and the 80mm on ebay, still have two lenses. The 800 will be my last it does everything I want and is capable of more, face it all you really need id a light tight box with a hole in it, I keep threatening to get a pin hole but haven't yet. About 12-15 lenes last few years use mostly 17-35 f2.8 and 28-70 f2.8 for land/seascapes flowers wildlife birds. I shoot for art but get a lot, a lot of snapshots and record shots which is cheaper in digital than it was in film.
My pet peeve? Two, 1. the term "nifty fifty" my first Nikkor lens a 50mm f2.0, surprisingly good. 2. The term or catagory or whatever: DSLR, whether film or digital they're all SLR's. Just my opinion. Anyway started to be brief, but thats me 71 and still going. Sorry to be such a windbag.

Welcome to our forum!

We all have our pet peeves. I find SLR and DSLR to be useful terms. "D" is digital, and that's a big difference from a film camera.
