There may be other similar postings regarding this, but here is my contribution. Like many people, I came to Ipernity from another photo sharing website - in my case Flickr in 2013. More recently many people came over from Panoramio. Very many people hope that Ipernity will continue despite its current problems. But, if Ipernity is really going to close, where else is there to go? I am setting out in the 'Comments' below the result of my own researches on this. Although I intended to be objective, it will be obvious what elements 'matter' to me, so it is a personal view; but I hope it will help other people too. Anyone who wishes is invited to express their own thoughts (or corrections or amplifications) or simply to say where (and, perhaps, why) they are intending to go if Ipernity closes. I think it will be clear to users of Ipernity that the website is of great value and that its closure would be a great loss. Please also see: www.ipernity.com/doc/autofantasia/43992640

1970s 35mm SLR photographic equipment, photograph taken about 1978. The camera is a Pentax S1A and it is fitted with a Jupiter-9 85mm f2 portrait lens (made in the USSR). Far right is the Super Takumar 55mm f2 standard lens, and to the left is a Peak 135mm f2.8 telephoto lens. Right foreground is a Pentacon 30mm f3.5 wideangle lens (made in East Germany). The Weston Master 5 light meter (which I still have) is in the left foreground. Ilford FP4 black and white film. Scanned to create a 24 bit colour tif file and processed to sepia using Silkypix software.
