Hi guys, just having a look around, and I have a specific question that I will post in the appropriate forum.

My name is Geoff, 73 years old and taking pictures since 1964, haven't improved much but I enjoy most of the results. isn't digital photography wonderful, when I started you banged off 24 exposures and waited a week to see the results....Onto my question

Welcome to the forum Geoff.
I started in the film era as well, while it holds some nostalgia, I wouldn't want to go back to it.

Geez mate ... I thought that I was the oldest old bugga here but you've pipped me by 12 months

I also started young - back when the Queen visited Melb for the 1956 Olympics - geez that's a hellava long time back
Probably like you - I've done heaps of D&P / darkroom work, but now enjoy the beauties of ezy-pezy digital stuff, mostly on Panny superzoom cameras, although I have a Panny m4/3 mirrorless as well

What about you - what are you up? to and what sort of clobba do you get around with?
Phil

Welcome. Yep those film days. When you went on holiday for 2 weeks took 30 photos over the two week period had one roll of 24 developed then waited two months until you finished the second roll to have that developed.
It's a great thing that the film is so cheap these days.

The instant feedback you get with digital makes it so much better, doesn’t it . I can remember getting film rolls developed before they were full, just so I could see the photos.

[Grumpy John]

That's really sad Brad, have you no patience?

[Isac]

What's a film roll?
