DiscussionIntroduce yourself

New here? Say hello. Where you are, what you shoot, what you shoot it with, and how you found the place if you like. No pressure to write an essay.

I'll start. Ash, Sheffield. Mostly the Peak District, mostly landscapes, and a fair bit of medium format film when I can afford it. Currently on a Zf with the 24-70 f/4 and the little 40, a D750 I really should sell, and a Mamiya 7 II that I'll be buried with. Set this place up because I missed the old forums, where you knew everyone's username and exactly what they'd argue about.

Cheers

Kathy, Columbus, Ohio. I'm the other mod, so you'll see me moving threads around and occasionally asking people to play nice. Backyard birds mostly, plus bugs, and the grandkids when they hold still (they don't). Nikon Z6 III with the 180-600, the 24-120 and the 105 macro. Welcome, everybody!

Hello all. London, portraits and street mostly, plus film on an F3. Digital is an A7R V with far too many lenses, no I won't be listing them, my partner might read this. Found the place through Ash on another forum. Honestly delighted there's somewhere that isn't a comment section

North Yorkshire. X-T4, a few Fuji lenses, a GR IIIx in the coat pocket. Walking, street, the odd landscape.

Tom, Norwich. A7 III with a bag of old manual glass on adapters... Helios, Takumar, an old Nikkor 50 1.4 and a Canon FD I keep meaning to sell. Been adapting lenses since before it was fashionable and I'll bore anyone who'll listen about it. Just saying hello.

Alright. Dave, Newcastle. D750 and a 70-200 2.8, mostly the Toon, the kids' football and the Northumberland coast when it's not raining, which isn't often. Nikon since forever. Cheapskate, buy everything used, proud of it. Found this place because Ash posted about it somewhere and I was sick of Facebook groups.

Hello. Dmitri, I live in Germany. I shoot mostly events and my son's football, with an A7 IV, 24-70 GM II, 70-200 GM II and the 85 1.8. Engineer by day, so I like tests I can repeat myself, and I will probably ask people how they tested things. Happy to be here.

Howdy from Tucson. Retired engineer, shooting Nikon since an FM in '79. These days it's a Z8 and a D850 I can't bring myself to sell, plus the 24-120 and the old 200-500 on the FTZ for birds. Sonoran Desert wildlife mostly, and whatever holds still long enough. Looking forward to ribbing the Canon folks. - Walt

Welcome Walt. There are only about three of them so far, go easy...

Hiya, Bex from Edinburgh. Landscapes and a bit of astro whenever the Highlands let me, which isn't often. Olympus E-M1 II with the 12-40 II and the 8-25. Yes it's Micro Four Thirds, no it isn't dead, I'll fight you

hi! Hannah, Bristol. mostly film, an FM2, and I develop at home in a very small bathroom. X100V for when I cant afford film which is most of the time

Gwyn, Cardiff. I make large landscape prints, mostly of wet hills in the Bannau and Eryri, and sell them at fairs. GFX100S II with the 32-64, and an RB67 for when I want to suffer. I'll be the one in printing threads going on about paper.

Hello from Kraków. I photograph mountains, mostly the Tatras and sometimes the Alps in summer, with Nikon Z6 II, 24-120 f/4 and 14-30 f/4. Before this I had Nikon DSLRs for many years. I read forums many years but this is first time I register somewhere, because the big forums became too much noise. Nice to meet you.

Good afternoon. Retired, living in Harrogate. I photograph landscapes and gardens with a Canon 5D Mark IV and the 24-70 f/2.8 II, and see no reason to change either. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to change my avatar.

Kind regards, H.

Hi H, welcome! Click your username at the top of the page, then Settings, and the avatar option is right there.

alright all, Andy from Leicestershire, birds mostly from the hides at Rutland Water, R7 and the 100-400 plus an old 90D as backup, anyone know when the R7 II is coming lol

Hello hello. Pete, Brighton. Film mostly, a Pentax K1000 and a Spotmatic, and sometimes no lens at all (pinhole, before anyone panics)... I'll probably go on about developer chemistry. My dad mixed his own and I seem to have inherited the habit, along with his measuring cylinders.

G'day from Melbourne. Travel and street, a6700 with the Sigma 18-50 and the 70-350. That's it, that's the kit. Expect replies at weird hours for the rest of you

Hi! Abby, Philadelphia. I photograph bugs (mostly jumping spiders, sorry in advance) with an OM-5 and the 60mm macro, plus the 12-100 for when something bigger turns up. Fair warning that I will post about spiders.

Howya, Mick from Cork. GX9 with the 20 and the 15, travel and walking about. Small cameras, long walks, the odd pint. Delighted to see another m43 person a few posts up
