I paint and draw through photography, which I thoroughly enjoy. I have been inactive for many years, lacking a good camera. I now use a Nikon 1 V1 with the following lenses:

1. Nikkor 1 10-30 mm

2. Nikkor 1 10-100 mm PD Zoom

3. Nikkor DX VR AF-S 18-150 mm 1:3.5-5.6 G ED

4. Nikkor DX VR AF-S 55-200 mm 1:4-5.6 GII ED

5. Nikon FT1 Adaptor

I prefer using the 18-140 mm lens with the FT1 adaptor most of the time.

I also do macrophotography with an old novoflex bellows and macrolens, which of course are all done in manual.

I also still use my brilliant little Panasonic Z occasionally with it's Leica lens.
