I'm from the U.K (Midlands) I've been using Nikons for around 15 years starting with a D50, a couple of years ago, on a serious bargain basement budget I upgraded to a D5100 finding a low shutter count example for £100 complete with 2 year warranty! I added a VR 18mm-105mm for around the same price. so got a camera and lens that would of cost around £1100 new for less than a quarter of that.

I originally bought a D50 with 18mm-55mm new in mid noughties I still have it and passed it on to my teenage son and we often have a great time taking photos together (much to annoyance of my wife who often just wants to enjoy the walk)

Before the D50 I had a couple of Olympus bodies an OM10 and an OM1md I still have the 10 as it was bought for me by my late late dad over 30 years ago when I was in my teens and has immense sentimental value. I did for a while own a Mamiya 645 which i loved but the running costs (film and processing) were double 35mm so sold it to a wedding photographer before digital took over that genre.

I love a good forum I'm on one for my car brand, a cycling one (another expensive hobby hence the low budgets for the camera) and one for writing (I do a bit of freelance feature writing for magazines in addition to the bill paying day job). So thought I'd join a photography one and what better than one that can help with my brand of camera tech issues..... SO as I said...

Hello!
