Guest Pamyw Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi, I am an amateur photographer. I learned the basics of photography from my grandfather. He adored his camera. He has several snaps of pictures around the world. He is my inspiration. I hope I can learn and better myself from this forum. Thank you for accepting me.

Bill Bowes Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Welcome aboard ! You might see a bit of chaos now, since the site is under a drastic change (for the 2nd time) but once you wade thru it a bit you should start to see forum that fit your interest areas. If your Grandad started this "magnificent obsession" see if you can get one of his cameras and join me, and others, over in the Classic Manual Camera forum. Lot's of fun using the older film cameras.

Bill Bowes Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 "System Bugs" prevented a picture upload on the previous post, so after a complete computer (Windows 8) reboot, here it is. It is from an "older" Former Soviet Union (FSU) Fed-2 & Jupiter-8 lens. If you are a history buff, play with that idea (Fed-2 camera). Film is currently available 35mm and developer/fixer are commercial. Aloha, Bill . . . Sorry, again the "new site" is blocking an upload. I will get one thru at some point.

Bill Bowes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm hoping. . . . No luck. . . . it's still a mess. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I am very persistent. Here we go again. Another bummer although a picture was posted in another forum, twice! Sorry, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Been gone for several hours, so perhaps the bugs "forgot me". Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hey, it worked! So now you see what a Classic Manual Camera can do. Aloha, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
