Hi all, I’m a 70 year old retired professional photographer.
Been taking pictures since I was 12 and just love photography.

Welcome Martin,

I too started at age 12 and remember developing film from by Kodak box camera in the bathroom sink and printing contact prints using an ordinary light bulb.

I love your Fuji 680 classical film camera, what a superb workhorse. My father in law use Mamiyac 330 cameras before switching Hassys!

I went for Bronuca as it was more within my reach but most of my work was with a Modak Retinette 1B I used in Africa and a Pentax Spotmatic before the Canon 30D swept everything off the shelves and brought in the digital revolution!

Thanks Asher, I left school at 15 and went to work in a photography studio.
Spent many years in the darkroom.
Then had my own studio in Portugal doing commercial work.
Retired now but still photography is my main love.
