Default Hi from a new member

I signed up yesterday, I am based south side of Birmingham UK, and have always been a film user. For many years this was with a Nikon SLR, but for the last seven years I have been shooting with a Leica M6 35 mm f2 Summicron, and 90 mm Elmarit. I recently acquired a second M6 body, and would never change, unless it became impossible to buy film anywhere ! I love B/W and street photography. I also do colour and have fallen for the new Kodak Ektar film, but love the pastel colours from Portra as well. I look forward to learning from other members on the forum. Phil.

Welcome to FADU Phil.

I was only talking today about if film should become unavailable, then I would simply give up.

Welcome Phil, it sounds like you may well be able to teach us a thing or two.
