Hello From Dorset
« on: January 24, 2012, 02:57:08 PM »
Hi
I thought I'd better introduce myself.

I Live in Swanage, Dorset right on the South Coast.
Day job Picture Framer.

First picked up a camera when I was still in shorts, did a City & Guilds course in Bournemouth College in about the late 90's.
Haven't done much since, until 2010 when I got the bug again.

Tried Digital didn't like it so stuck with film, I just love developing, but no longer have a darkroom so everything is scanned.

Have a Ricoh KR10M SLR
A deceased Kiev 88, and just taken delivery of a Zero image 2000

Only every shoot Black & White.

Came across the Filmwasters after listening to The Film Photography Podcast, been lurking here awhile so it's about time I said Hi.


Matt.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Paul - I've only managed to get out with the Zero a couple of times, trying to get used to the field of view. It's WIDE.

If you think the 02K is wide you should try the Zero 45... it has a focal length of 25mm on 5x4!
