Please, allow me to introduce myself, I`m a man of wealth and taste. (if you get the reference you are oldish and have good taste in music.)
Getting that of my chest, I am Jens, have been photographing on and off since 1980ish when I bought my first SLR, a Pentax ME Super at the ripe age of 12ish. Did some paid work in due time, both as a camera salesman and as a press/info officer, with some freelancing on the side. Spent the better parts of the 00 and 10s out of the game, primarily using a string of PS to snap JPGs. Bought a Pentax K7 when it came out, due to it being small and light, but ended up with it being bulky and most fitting on a shelf, had a hard look on the Fujis from about 2011 to 15, and ended up in the M43 universe on a friends advice, and have built a decent system around the Lumix offerings since that. Am not a high volume shooter, I tend somewhat to shoot conservatively like in the film days when on my own dime, but I note a tendency to shoot a bit more these days. I may be adopting to digital. Still quite the noob in LR, and have no skills whatsoever in PS, but will try to make some progress in those fields, this year.
Still have most of the film gear around, took one roll last year to check out the Yashica T5, due to its secondhand value and dont think I will be doing much more of film, to be frank. I tend to run the mechanisms on them every once in a while, just to keep them in trim, somewhat, though. I have a basic darkroom in a couple of crates, if the urges should bite me really hard, but working towards an actual Lightroom to do digital "better" than with the laptop on top of my lap.
A mention of this forum on the Mu43 forum is what brought me here, and a quick browse made me join. Glad to have found you and looking forward to participating in the community.
Best regards
