Hello from the North West

Unread post by kaled_201299 »

Hello there,
Just joined the forum, but have occassionally dropped by to check out discussions over the last couple of years.
I'm in my mid thirties and would describe myself as a bad amateur photographer, but love taking photos (obviously) and now in the digial age, developing RAW files within ACD Pro 5. I first got the bug when I was about 11 years old and the first SLR I used was a Canon that my Uncle lent me.
In the summer of 1988 I worked long and hard and saved up for a Minolta 7000AF with 35-105 lens (if I recall it cost me £288 on sale as the 7000i had just been released). This camera served me very well for 18 years to 2006 when I bought into digital and the Dynax 5D.
In turn, the 5D lasted until I replaced with with the A77 in November. I also bought a Nex-5, for the reasons most people have - compact, DSLR quality.
I only recently sold the 7000AF, along with a few old lenses, Dynax 5 (I bought for my wife) and Dynax 5D.
I now mainly rely on my 16-80 CZ and 70-300 G SSM lenses but have a 50mm 1.7 and will probably invest in 2 or 3 additional lenses in due course.
