alfonsomartinez Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Howdy! I am new to this forum and I am impressed with the site's corporate knowledge and its members (compared to other forums that I have visited). I really enjoy reading everyone's discourses here. I am learning a lot from you all. I began in photography in 1983 with the Canon T-50 and became a dedicated Canon user every since once my photographic skills evolved from a casual shooter to a more serious (advanced) user. I have used Nikon, Pentax, and Olympus cameras...and they are great systems as well. I prefer Canon. My favorite Canon is still the Canon A-1. I own the Canon A-1 (2x), Canon FTb (2x), Canon T-90 (2x), Canon EOS Rebel GII, Canon EOS 1 (2x), and recently the Canon 6D to experiment with the digital format. I also now own a Kodak Retina IIIc to play with a manual classic camera. Have fun everyone, may God bless you, and stay safe!! Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemorrell Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 A hearty welcome to PN, Alfonso! For me, PN took a bit of getting used to at first compared to some other photo sites. It's not so 'glossy' but you're right: the depth of knowledge and experience and willingness to help here are unrivalled anywhere else. It's also a very friendly community. No egos, no sniping, no flame-wars (or at least very few) and no posts just to get likes, ratings or a a high 'pulse'. The mods here do a great job of keeping things running smoothly (within their limitations) and giving occasional gentle reminders that even 'heated discussions' need to be respectful. I don't have your film photography experience though most members do. Sure, I've shot film. But for me, photography as a hobby only started in 2002/2003 with my first digital camera (a Canon G6). One thing we share in common is that I (exclusively) use a Canon 6D too. I bought it (used) perhaps 5 or 6 years ago. Now and again, I've wondered about maybe 'upgrading'. I've even looked at some alternatives. But I can still do everything I want to do with the 6D. So I'm sticking with it for the foreseeable future. It's still a great camera.

rdm Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hello Alfonso Martinez, Welcome to the forum. There is much information on here to learn from & a lot of it is correct. Some things I hope you remember. : There are some very knowledgeable members on here. Do not use this site as an absolute source of information, do your research & check other sources. Always take most comments with a grain of salt. But above have fun and never take things on the internet too seriously. BTW What part of Tx are you from? I have family in the Houston area.
