Getting back into a hobby I absolutely loved and regretfully stepped away from. A Mac owner since 1989.
Since 1974 Foto Amateur. First Cam: Edixa single Lens reflex 50mm 50-200mm; 1980 Minolta XD7 28mm 50mm Tokina 35-200mm; Scanned 6000 slides and Negatives with Reflect didgitDia 5000 and Nikon Coolscan V ED LS50. Since 2005 Nikon N5100, N5300, and compact cameras. Since 2023 Sony 6400 and Google Pixle 7 Pro, replacing the compact cameras. Now using Kodak Reels to scan family 8mm films from 60-80s.
