Hi All,

I'm John, a new member here, based in Lancashire in the UK, having stumbled upon the forum from a random search.

A bit of background: I've been shooting film for years, mostly Pentax 35mm (M42 & K mounts) but over the years also Lubitel, Mamiya C330/645 & Bronica SQ. I lost interest at some point in the past and started shooting d*****l a year ago. Now I'm getting restless for film again - can't really explain why though.

Film wise I mostly shot Kodachrome & Ilford FP4+, HP5+ & Delta 3200 in 35mm and Velvia, Provia, Ilford FP4+, HP5+ & Delta 3200 in 120. Currently shooting my way through my stocks of expired 120 and organising developing some old rolls I've found.

My latest camera is a Zenit EM, which I have yet to load.

That's a quick introduction, hopefully I'll be able to contribute something soon.

Regards,

John.

Welcome, fellow Northerner  ;D

"Getting restless for film again" is a good thing. Don't fight it.

Looking forward to seeing your work and, as Leon mentioned, don't forget to have a good look around the site, not just the Forum.
