No doubt when I am Veted????? I will be put right Just thought I would introduce myself to those who do not know me. First picked up a camera xxxxx years ago and have had love affairs with photography off and on ever since. I have used all formats up to 5x7 (inches) I used range finders most of the time which I was introduced to in the Military. I have never had a speciality I just love making images and viewing others no matter the "how or whys". if I had to narrow it down black & white of any subject would be my preference. My real love was always with the darkroom. I moved over to Digital four years ago, not because I was biased towards film more that I always or nearly always printed 20x16 and said I would not change till I could afford to do the same digitally (I hate the A sizes) we are still are bound by 20x16 mounts and a super A3 on one looks naff as do all the other A sizes did we not have a voice from the RPS PAGB etc when we were conned into the A sizes ,we are tied to the A size now so why dont we have a mount board the size that looks proportional ( LCPU Reps please take note) or are we all to be destined to projected images. Me I have a A2 printer and can still make my beloved 20x16 even from the files off my old 20D. I am now back to Nikon which i used in the fifties through to the seventies but I miss the range finders I nearly went the Leica way but the price and problems put me off though I still think maybe I should have, weight of equipment is part of the equation as you get older. well thats my 2 pennies worth, comments most welcome.
