New guy introduction.   Message List

At long last, after waiting months to be approved, here I am!
I'm Dean, from BC, Canada. I've been shooting half frame since the late
nineties, when I purchased my first Samurai Z.
I'm on my third example of the Z, besides which I have a Konica AutoReflex
switchable half/full frame SLR (it fit in with my other Konica SLRs), a Pen
EE-S, Fed Micron, Agat 18K, Konica AA-35, and a now-deceased Canon Dial 35.
My main users are the Fed Micron and the AA-35. I prefer to shoot slides, and
mount them myself. I'm still waiting for the scans back from the last couple
rolls I shot, since I don't have the patience to scan them myself.
I'm one of those holdouts without a DSLR. I did give in and get a Canon digital
Elph, but for the moment that's as far as I'm going into the digital world.
I still plan to add a Pen SLR and a Chaika to the collection, but I think I
will try to stop there (I have 200 cameras and can't help adding the occasional
gem, so I can't be sure what I will end up with), although a Robot Royal 18 and
Konica IIIM would be nice...
I hope there will be some activity on here, after waiting so long to join!
Dean

I also use a Samurai, though not frequently.   Does anyone know of a lab that will process 1/2 frame film and scan the shots to a disc?   I'd take more of...
