Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. Moved down to South Carolina, from Western New York five years ago. Am a retired truck driver and was looking for another hobby, to keep myself occupied. I played around a little with a 35mm camera, when I was in Vietnam. The price of the new SLR's, were out of the question for me. I remembered how I really liked the long gone 35mm SLR I had. Started browsing Ebay and saw how affordable the "Vintage" cameras were. Well I found a professionally refurbised Canon A-1. Then I bought all the trimmings, to go with it. The only thing I'm gonna probably need, is a Diopter lens. I was hoping not to have to wear my reading glasses, but guess I'll come to that hurdle when I have camera in hand. I joined this forum, with hopes to learn from your knowledge. Well I've rambled enough, just hope ya'll don't mind another novice asking questions.
 
Welcome to TPF. You've got a GREAT hobby with photography! You can take it in any of a thousand directions.
 
Welcome to the forum. After the diopter you will need some developing tanks and all the trimming for processing film at home.
 
Welcome! I'm new too, and everyone has been quote helpful! It's a great community here :)
