Default Another newbie here from West Yorkshire

Hi
Just found this site from a link from another forum site.
Been interested in photography since at school oh we're have all those years gone. Been shooting mostly digital for the last few years but recently wanted to get back in to shoot film mostly B&W still have my Nikon Fm my first SLR camera. Recently purchased a Nikon F3 and Mamiya RB67. So any help & information on film type & processing greatly appreciated and hopefully making new friends with similar love of using film
Simon

Hi Simon

Recently taken the same journey myself and finding it much more rewarding than colouring in pixels.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Feeling at home already. Can't wait to start trying film again although will have to get it developed commercially until I can put together a darkroom

Welcome Simon. In the northern latitudes of West Yorkshire where excess heat and sweating is a rarity a changing bag may be all you will need to develop film until the darkroom can be launched.

Printing is admittedly another matter but you can at least dip your toes into the processing water

Hi Simon, welcome to the forum, we are are a friendly bunch on here, so if you have any questions just ask.

The RB67 is a great piece of kit, great results, just need to be a bit like the incredible hulk to carry it all day.

Have fun.

Ian
