Thank you for the welcome. I could tell there's a lot of intelligent people on here, the main reason I signed up. You're right about becoming interested. I've had that happen on more than one occasion. I figure I'll learn a lot if by nothing else than through osmosis by association.

Thank you for the welcome. The guy that recommended to me the camera is also a Nikon shooter along with his dad.
I know that joke. I think the same thing every time I think of the name. I never did get to shoot a cannon in the Navy. The closest I ever got was a LAW.
Hmm. It looks like I'm replying to my original post in stead of individual posts like I thought. Lol. Okay, I gotta regroup. I'll be back!

Do you mean Yashika? I still have my Yashika Mat 24 Twin Lens Reflex with original packaging. Can't bear to part with it.
Welcome to UHH, enjoy and have fun.
Let me start by saying thank you to everyone for the welcome. I won't waste everybody's time by retyping what I already posted.
You're right, Chg_Canon, I'm interested in the reaching out a distance when I can't walk there. I like your recommendation for the 70-300mm. I'm not afraid to buy used, although I never heard of KEH.com. I've been looking on eBay and Amazon. I'll have to keep it in mind. was able to score my camera with lens for $177 simply because of an ink stain on the side of the lens. I also figure I can wait a few years to get the telephoto lens. Shoot, it took me about 50 years to get the camera, I figure another 2 or 3 to get the telephoto lens is no big deal.
To those who I ruffled their feathers by stating I wasn't interested in learning about f-stop and other functions of photography. I don't see those functions as not fun for others. I enjoy and appreciate the photographs that people who enjoy doing them produce. I fully respect the knowledge as well, that's why I'm here. And who knows, like Donna said, I just might become interested as time goes on.
I looked up Yashika, but that's not it. Close though, very close.
Welcome Chaostrain..I think a lot of folks on UHH had the same idea as you and just wanted a place to occasionally post a photo or two. However I bet within a very short time you will see how much fun the learning is and be seeking a lot of advise from those that know. I always like to see more Oregonians here and some day we will all have to get together and talk "shop"
Welcome. I am new too. I am found I started the same as you and then got hooked of F stops and ISO and DOF. All of a sudden you will find yourself speaking in code. Enjoy it, relax and be assimilated into the crazy world of photography. :-) It will happen when you least expect it.
Welcome to the Hog.
Have fun ......take pictures.
hello and welcome to uhh :)
