I am only fairly new to the world of Digital (and now film) SLRs.
I purchased my first DSLR in 2007 just before my 30th Birthday as a present to myself ... and it is has just gone from there. Whenever I ca get the spare time away from my jobs I try and shoot as much as I can. I now have 2 identical Pentax K10D bodies (one for AF and the other is a dedicated M42 screwmount MF kit).
I have recently delved into the old-school world of film SLRs as well with the purchase of a nice old Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP (and then was given an unused family Spotmatic SP that needs a bit of TLC when i get the spare time.)
I am always learning as much as I can ... and in the process improving my images as I go ... there's still a hell of a lot to learn ... but I have the time.
