Hello from Manchester
Hi everybody. I'm just about to clean up the cellar in which I had many happy years printing. It must be at least three years since I did any serious darkroom work down there (so there's a lot of dust to remove). Digital photography is leaving me increasingly cold, so I'm looking out my Rolleiflex (manufactured in the mid-50s, like me), my Leica and a small family of Pentax MXs and LXs. I've stocked up with film, paper and chemicals. In a couple of weeks I'm going to spend a long weekend by the coast in North Norfolk -- just me, one or two film cameras, and plenty of film. It's good to be back!
Rob

Welcome Rob. I'm surprised Jem Kime has not got you back into film sooner. You must know him - the only real camera shop in Manc.
PS> I escaped from nearby Manc and came up here. Bumped into Jem in a local cafe - just cannot get away from the chap!

Welcome from another Pentax user. There's an MX in my family, and a really old K from the 50's, still going strong.

Welcome back Rob, just remember to make sure that you have everything right before you press the shutter, you will not be able to check the screen on the back of the camera to see if you have it right.
