When I was a freshman in high school I joined the photo club. My first experience in the darkroom watching the image slowly appear in the developing tray was magical. I learned to use the school's 35m camera and after saving for more than a year I bought a brand new Canon TX. That was 1975 and I was 15 years old. I still have that camera. I have done photo work on the side ever since. For a few years I was self employed as a wedding photographer. No I work as an electronics technician. I have always stuck with Canon for my working equipment. Now I shoot with an EOS 60D. I really like the solid feel of an old 35mm camera in my hands. They were made to last using metal and glass. I have about 20 cameras in my collection. I try to stick with Japanese 35mm cameras from the 1960s and 70s. I like to take pictures of my old cameras. 500px.com/photo/89860011/happy-thanksgiving-35mm-camera-by-jon-wason?ctx_page=5&from=user&user_id=6632132

Welcome, 35mm,
I,too, have a soft spot for Canon. My first was an FTb QL. A gift from my son. My last 35MM was the Canon T90 which I used for 20 years. I still have it. It looks almost new. I now have 18 Canons and accessories. But then I have about a 30 year headstart on you.
You will like it here, 35mm.

Hi there 35mm, and welcome. I too have a Canon 60D, as well as a G12, for less obtrusive photography. I try to run a film through each camera I buy, but my favourite film SLR is a Canon FT.

Hi 35mm and welcome have gathered up a lot of cameras in my almost 50 years of collecting, several Canons amongst them, my main camera now being a Canon EOS 400D.. I'm sure you'll enjoy the wealth of knowledge the members here can show (I dont include myself in that.. I don't know anything just have a good time) but find much interest in many of the posts

Thanks for the warm welcome. I just won an EBAY auction for a Canon FX. It should arrive later in the week.

Let me get my welcome in here too. And good luck with the FX. I don't know merde about Canons. Not because of any good reason, though.
Ciao from icy Italy!

Checked my SLRs for a post on Facebook. Sorry I spend too little time here lately and too much there. Anyhoo, 52 Canons in SLR so they have a lead on my 38 Nikons.
