Hi Peter, I started "real photography" with an MX and an M 50mm f1.7 back in 1981. I still have it though I've been through a SuperA, Z1p, MZ-S, and am now using my *istD nearly exclusively - I still have my MZ-S as well. I don't have room for a dark room but I enjoy what I can do with the digital on the computer. Where in Oz are you? There are a lot of Australians on this list - I'm in Melbourne.
