[QUOTE="Bonky, post: 815285, member: 52815"] HI, many years ago I was a member of a local group shooting mainly B&W and colour slides. I seem to recall winning a few competitions with my trusty, lovely Contax camera. Since then I have moved up(?) to a Nikon D5500 and various lenses - but I'm now only doing 'snaps'. However, yesterday I pulled the trigger on a Z5 (pronounced ZED-five), a converter/adaptor and a Nikon Z 24-70mm f4 lens and fancy becoming more of an enthusiastic amateur. I've just made an enquiry about a local U3A (University of the Third Age -in the UK) group, so it'll be interesting to see and hear how much I've forgotten and how much things have moved on. I may consider Lightroom or one of the free -or cheaper- alternatives. I do miss my darkroom - all those evocative smells. A 15-day trip to India ('the Jewel In The Crown') beckons for the third time in April so I expect to have lots of photo opportunities. Anyone in Sheffield (UK) please get in touch. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
