In the early 60's I received my first camera, a Kodak Brownie Fiesta camera. In the late 60's I purchased an Argus C3 (range finder) and a hand held light meter from a pawn shop and I learned to use both. In the mid 70's I wanted an SLR, so I purchased a Nikkormat FT2 body and 55 macro lens, which I used for many years with my favorite film, Kodachrome 64. When the digital age came I held off purchasing a camera due to constant change. I then purchased an Olympus C5050, and several point and shoots. Unhappy with the performance (shutter lag) I purchased an Nikon D7100, which I have been using for several years and got back into photography. I enjoy shooting nautical/marine photography, cars, especially old auto's, and now the grand children.
