My first steps in photography were when I was a kid on a family holiday to Italy. Still got some examples of the photos which I took then. Thereafter a stready stream of cameras old and new in various formats (110, 35mm, 120, 4x5). My first DSLR was a Nikon D70. I now use mainly a Nikon D810, but have been getting back into film. Got 6 Large Format cameras now, maybe this is excessive?
