My first camera was a Ricoh 500 ME with a 40 mm lens. When that got stolen I managed to find a used Ricoh 500 GX without the multi-exposure function.

After a few repairs I had to give up on the Ricoh and used an entry-level Canon SLR - still analogue - before finally getting into digital photography with a Panasonic Lumix G2 with its kit zoom (28-90 mm equivalent).

Now, though, I mainly use a G5 with a 20 mm pancake lens, which is a 40 mm equivalent fixed lens and seem to be back where I started.

Of course, with this equipment I'm at a much higher level than when I began taking photos. But this slightly wide-angle point of view is still my favourite. Add to that a 90 - 400 mm equivalent zoom for the long view.

I won't deny that I also take photos with the phone camera that's almost always in my pocket, so I take both approaches to photography - raw/RAW optical and software-based JPEG - as they come.
