Welcome!

We are getting famous out there by the looks of it - I hope they were complimentary!

Make sure you make the most of your time here - ask questions, no matter how silly they may seem. Participate, share pics, do whatever takes your fancy (within reason).

Mind if I ask where you are from?

I can read and understand not all but at least 75% of the text, writing and speaking are harder cos I never use French as my second language since I was trained how to flap my wings by the Yank back in 1968.

You wont be able to attract many of their user since french men and english language are two opposite things.

As far as I am concerned so I am nither a french nor an english native speaker but its been 3 years that I am france.

Great works!


yea its true that the forum is quite active and its very informative however as far as I know the forum started way before 14 Nov but they switched to this very address on 14Nov.

Since its the only forum in french so you will find people from not only france but also from Belgium, Swiss, luxemburg and canada.

And ofcoure Nikon D70 had a quite sucsses in Europe.

Just to reply Marvin I speak French, English, Urdu, and Hindi and basicaly I am from Pakistan and shortly I shall be returning to Pakistan.

Welcome aprilfool. I have pleasant memories of France, I spent a couple of weeks travelling around there some years ago, and I was lucky to be there for the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Bastille Day. I ate snails and drank plenty of wine that day....

Cheers
