Hello from Dublin
Delighted to have discovered this site!
I used a Pentax K1000 in college and got some darkroom experience. Took some pretty average colour shots after that. I went digital in 2007 with a Pentax K10D. While I like the convenience of digital I kept hankering after 'real' black and white photography. Digital lacks that magic of light striking film or a print emerging from developer. I love the feel of negatives and the smells of darkroom chemicals. Maybe that's what happened to me! I bought a Pentax 67ii on eBay last Christmas. Though I haven't done much with it yet, I love the size and feel of it and the idea of doing 'slow' photography. Some day, I might even have my own darkroom. Looking forward to exploring film photography again. Seán Last edited by SeanOD; 15th March 2013 at 12:37 PM. Reason: Forgot to include my name! |

Welcome aboard Seán.
Film is certainly a more tactile (and aromatic!) experience! Cheers, Bob. |

Welcome Sean. That's two hands-on cameras you mention where you are in control. That sums up the essence of analogue for many
Enjoy that SLR on steroids Mike |

Hello Sean
Welcome to FADU, theres nothing quite like the magic of pulling a film off the reel after its been developed and seeing what you've created. regards Richard |

Hi Sean, welcome to the forum. As others have said, nothing quite like the anticipation / dread of removing a freshly developed film from its reel. Have fun.
Ian
