<p>Hello to all. I started shooting 35mm film as a teenager in the mid-70's. Kept using my Canon FD equipment until 2003 when my wife surprised me with a Nikon Coolpix something-or-other. I was surprised by the quality (and the ease of use), so moved up to a Panasonic FZ30 a couple of years later. I thought DSLRs were too expensive and didn't want to end up with another box full of lenses, but always missed the flexibility. This spring I finally got a Nikon D5100 and am having a ball learning to use it. I hope to take advantage of the expertise available here, and maybe contribute something useful from time to time.<br>

Thanks,<br>
