Default Hi from Werrington, Stoke-on-Trent

Hi All,

I had my first proper camera in 1980, it was a Zenit EM. I went over to the digital "dark side" several years ago and soon lost interest and considered transferring the images onto my computer to be a real chore.
I recently rediscovered film and I do all of my own processing, both C41 and B&W. I do own an enlarger but it may be some time before I set it up again. I now enjoy developing my film and then scanning it on my Epson V600 scanner.
I carry an XA or Minox 35 everywhere most of the time but, on occasion, I may have a vintage 6X4.5 Ikonta with me instead.

Cheers,

Ian

Hi Ian.

Welcome aboard. The ol' Zenits provided an entry for many people in the past!

Have fun, Cheers, Bob.

Welcome to the forum Ian. Hope your darkroom comes sooner rather than later...

Welcome from one who still uses his old Zenits from time to time. In my experience, wonderfully robust and reliable.
