This brings back memories! You started a dozen years before me, but tri-x was still my state of the art (along with plus-x and pan-x). That was a lot of fun. But now I sure do like setting my "film" speed to suit every shot, and letting the camera focus, and the faster sharper lenses. And I love how much less a desktop computer smells, compared to the wet darkroom.
Welcome!
Hi I’m more than a photo enthusiast I started with a canon tlql and a 50 lens when I was 10 (62 years ago) I’ve been hooked ever-sense. So I guess I came up through the ranks with auto nothing and processing my tri-x in my mom’s basement. Until I got my first 3mp Nikon fixed lens camera. It was a toy for me as I was a working professional in the Atlantic City NJ USA location. Shooting with Nikons and Mamiyas. Soon I went all digital with Nikons eventually traded for mirrorless Sony as I needed a “quiet” camera so Sony A9 with 2 lenses 24-105,70-200. Eventually I slowly retired until I’m no longer working and only shoot for fun! Long story how I got here, I’ve been watching and reading about Fuji x100 series, I finally got the x100vi and been enjoying it. I got it for the film simulation features. I gotta admit I’m finding it fun to shoot with and amazing quality of the images it produces.
