Just saying Hi, from Yorkshire UK. Thought I might join your rather prolific list for so long as my mailbox can stand it.
I have been taking photos for a couple of months - no idea what brought it on. Some kind of madness. I mostly enjoy using my father's old Pentax Spotmatic F with a broken lightmeter. I have another Spotmatic (not F) which actually works, but I really don't enjoy fiddling about with that black metering switch on the side. I did buy myself a digital SLR recently - (not a Pentax - sorry - I wanted anti-shake in the body at a time when Konica-Minolta was the obvious and very affordable choice), but I dunno - I'm more of a film type I think. I only really enjoy using the D-SLR when I stick old M42 Asahi Super Multi Coated Takumar lenses onto it. So I consider the results of that to be at least half-Pentax. I am obsessed with old Takumar lenses, since they seem to have magical qualities of sharpness mixed with smoothness that I can't get any other way. They almost seem to "melt" things, like the brickwork here: http://www.jimkerslake.uklinux.net/pentax/oiljug.jpg So - well - Hi then :-) -- jim -- ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
