Tentative re-entry after 35 years
Hello, all.
I must first introduce myself. My name is Roy, I am English but have been residing in the US for 17 years. Back in the late 60s and throughout the 70s I processed my own black and white films and paper. (I then lived in Liverpool and later London.) Then "life events" took over and I did very little photography for many years. My camera was a Zenith E and it served me very well. I had Paterson darkroom gear and a lovely Gamer enlarger. All of that gear is now long gone. Then about 5 years ago my sister was upgrading her digital camera and she gave me her very sweet and petite Olympus mju. I have njoyed using it very much but.......all of my picture taking with the Olypus has rekindled my latent interest in REAL (that is, film and paper) photography. Consequently, I have indulged myself by acquiring 2 Pentax ME Super SLRs ans also a Pentax MG. They are very alluring objects. One of the ME Supers need some TLC so I have had it CLA'd here in the US. I aim to retire soon to Blighty and am therefore planning what I will need, after my return, to set up another darkroom. So, you can tell that I am in the very early stages of my next exciting chapter. I hope this was not too boring for you all... Best wishes, Roy |
