I loved the Oly, but found the lack of a decent grip on the camera annoying, as was the price of their lenses and the lack of third party ones.

Anyway, I thought I'd start with the 1000D, to see how I liked the feel, and have since purchased the 500D too, so I loved it! My main interests are macro and Landscape (when I get the time to travel outside London). I have also subscribed to the magazine.

Oh, back in the day when I processed my own film and prints I used a Canon AE-1 (auto) and an AT-1 (manual) camera - I think that's what they were called? An old boy comes home!

Main photographic interests are wildllife, especially birds and insects, plants too; also landscapes and places. Not much good at people and portraits, though.

Looking forward to taking part in these foruims, and learning more about this great hobby of ours.

My name: Tony Volante
My Age: 75
My location: Newton Abbot, South Devon. England.

On Joining the RAF in 1953 at 17½ years old I bought my first camera, a Kodak Box Brownie 620 and used black & white film.
Posted to Cyprus I swopped the Brownie for a Franka Solida Junior 6x6 folding bellows job. We started a photographic club and I learned how to develops and print my own photos. Still using B&W.

On leaving the RAF I worked for a fashion agency just off Regent Street in London, mostly working in their darkroom. I bought myself a Yashica 44 TLR, using 127 film in 4x4 format. Still mostly B&W. Since then I have never been without a camera of some sort, ranging from a 16mm Minolta sub-miniature camera to a 6x9 plate camera. There were many types of 35mm camera ranging from a Zenith-E up to (my last 35mm) a Canon EOS 650 with which I specialised in natural history photography and was awarded an LRPS by the Royal Photographic Society. I built myself a darkroom, but only for B&W again. I also enjoyed landscape photography and for this I used a Mamiya C330 6x6 TLR and a Zenith 80 6x6 SLR.
I then moved on to Digital cameras, starting with a Ricoh RDC-300Z, through to my current camera which is a Nikon D-80. Lenses for it range from a Nikkor 35/70 + Macro f3.3. Nikkor 55/200 f1.4. Sigma 400mm f5.6.

However, I have long hankered to return to Canon cameras and have now finally taken the plunge. As soon as all my Nikon gear is sold (eBay) I intend to buy a new Canon EOS 1000D and some lenses for my wildlife photography.

Joined the forum to learn more about photography and using my equipment.

I have an EOS 5D with BG-E4 Battery Grip.

My lenses are; Sigma 17-35mm 1:2.8-4, Tamron 90mm 1:2.8 Macro, Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8, Canon EF 75-300 Zoom. The lens I use most is a Canon EF 24-105 1:4 IS L Series.

Flash equipment; Canon 580EX Speedlight + STE2 Transmitter somewhere that I have never used.

Other bits and pieces include various filters for the lenses, TC-80N3 Timer-Remote Controller, Canon Angle Finder C 1.25X 2.5X, Canon "Off-Camera Shoe Cord", Polaris Flash/Light Meter and Canon Angle Bracket.

No particular expertise, I enjoy all forms of photography, apart from lots of family shots, do most things for my own enjoyment.

Re future upgrades I would love an EOS 1d Mk 1V, but being realistic due to cost, would probably have to settle foran EOS 5D Mk II. ]]> New members John White http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/showthread.php?3633-Nerw-member-in-Plymouth-England http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/showthread.php?3632-Hello-from-Hampshire-UK&goto=newpost Sun, 29 Aug 2010 21:55:38 GMT I am new here and decided to join after reading some helpful posts ona variety of canon-related subjects.

Saving up for a potential upgrade to Mk IV and looking for advice on the forum.

Main photographic interests are music and gig photography, landscape, portraiture and sport.
