Hello from Dusseldorf

[silverbullet]

Hi folks,

since 2006 'im back into photography after decades of "only" family and holidays snapshots. In my twenties a NikonF and two lenses of 28&50mm was enough, not so heavy and worked for me as my third eye.
Since 2006 'im back into "serious" photography starting again with Nikons D70-D300, but analogue photography I couldn't forget.....
35mm film is back into a MP, ZM and a Bessa R4A, but a small, powerful and fast response "every day cam" was missing in digital.
The Ricoh GRIII seems to be the logical way to go.....for me as a wide angle man.....
Now with nearly 62 I have to hurry with less weight on my back ;-)

All the best to you folks and
Every day Good Light!
Bernd

Hello Bernd and welcome on board! It's nice to see an old-school photographer here! I like both photos you posted There is something special on film photos that's very hard to reproduce with digital. But not entirely impossible. I hope to see some more film photos from you! Thanks for joining us!

Hi Bernd, and welcome to the forum.

I also had been a film user for many years, I used Olympus OM4 (which I still have) and many others like Contax T2/T3.
I would still like to use film but alas I don't have the time to process and local processor shops have dried up.
Digital while has its advantages has become the way of the world so here we are!

Howdy @ all,

thank you so much for your nice welcome words!
It seems that here is a nice forum for photographers not follwing the mainstream.......

In the announcements the competition in October attracts me so much. My first ever "street" pic could be repeated, but at first a Ricoh should be in my pockets.
Ricoh Germany is only 10 km away..... :mrgreen:

Cheers
Bernd
