Default Hello from Fife Scotland

Found a link to this site today whilst ordering some developer I am 70 years young and have been taking photographs for over 60 of them - Have used most cameras from box brownie to Gandolfi - Have been a professional Social photographer for many years and went digital in 2000 (I hope this is not swearing on this forum) although I still used film for a lot of my personal work. I have shot all formats from 35mm to 5x4 and only sold my C330, Gandolfi , and Cambo legend last year when I found the weight was getting too much and limiting how far from the car I could walk. I have not made a wet print since 2000 but have processed my film and scanned it into the computer. For me it does not spoil the fun of photography and I have no complaints about print quality - All it takes is switch off Auto this & that and take contol of you equipment the same as I did in the 1950's. Hopefully I will still be allowed as a member by the end of the week. Incidently when I sold my Film cameras last year I did keep one - A Graflex Century Graphic (1956 vintage) medium format + 65mm & 105mm lenses so perhaps there is still hope for me

Welcome to the forum Brian. Sorry to hear you've parted with the Gandolfi and Cambo, but I fully understand the problem of weight issue

Welcome! 70 years young, hey? Some days I feel 45 years old..... Weight can be a pain-it's never just the camera, it's all the bits that go with it.
