I only do photography for a hobby when I noticed how much cheaper it was to buy them nowadays ,I started photography in the middle of May 2018 (4 months away from writing this) started with a nikon d3100 ,and started looking into prime lenses then found out about crop and full frame ,now have a canon 500d cos was on a local buy site for good price sold the nikon , still on a mission for a full frame , also found out about medium format and had a dabble with a kiev 6c with zeiss 80mm 2.8 but messed up film so selling the kiev for now and sticking to digital mainly for cost , trying to get the best quality poss for as less cost as poss ,trying to stick to only prime lenses mainly older vintage ,been buying testing and selling diff lenses and have a small stock I need to sell to buy more, learning that no matter what you learn there is something else you don't yet know and photography seems to be a never ending learning curve, am also learning patience ,mainly waiting for new cameras, have enjoyed it so far is a great hobby keeps me busy gets me out the house and meet different people , just waiting for a full frame now.
