I've not used a proper camera for years but hope to get back into it soon. Funnily enough its been the playing around with my smartphone 'camera' that
has rekindled my interest, wondering, if I can get good results from a phone then recent DSLRs must be amazing! I'm hoping to find something second hand off here, something like a
Pentax K5 or the like. Needs to be robust as it'll be out with me on my mountain bike. So I better start contributing so I can get access to the classifieds asap! :0)

Welcome to the forums Nick. Not sure you will want to carry a DSLR on that mountain bike, maybe something like the new Sony A600 would be better suited.
 
Thanks Steve, I intend carrying it in a suitable ruck sack with some padding. The weight shouldn't be a problem as I'm used to carrying a couple of litres of water on my back. The mtb is a great way to get to some out of the way places when time is short and I like photographing remote scenery.
 
Welcome to the forum Nick :wave:
 
Hi Nick, And welcome aboard TP, looking forward to hearing from you and maybe seeing some of your images on the various forums. "Enjoy".
 
hi nick Im like you I used film for 40 something years my dad bless him got me into photography as he done all his own developing and I was fascinated I came over to digital properly last year when my brother changed his set up and offered me his Nikon D90 and 2 lenses for silly money and chucked in a bag as well. I was a compact person before that good luck
