I bought a Minolta XG2 in 1978, used X700 and 7000 (not mine in the mid to late 1980s).
I switched to Canon in 1989 and have been with Canon ever since.

Welcome

Welcome to the happy and fun loving Canon family. Now go do the dishes, finish up on the laundry and iron the clothes. Don't forget to sweep the floor and mop it clean. I don't like dirt around the house. LOL!

I dont agree. I think TS should play around with what he has for the time being! Dont BBB and end up having basement filled with lens

But since he is film ex-user, i think he should be quite clear on his style of photography

He should know ba?

Vitacon filter? I dont think thats really good btw... A little wasted if it degrades the optics of the tammy which is quite good
