I started into photography in the 1980's with an Olympus OM-1, until that got stolen. Then I bought a Nikon N-8008, and loved using that for years. Oddly, I mostly didn't take35mm as my kids were growing, and switched to digital point-and-shoots.

Recently I picked up a used Nikon D7000 off of Craigslist, and have been loving it. I use a Tokina f2.8 zoom, and an old (manual focus) Vivitar Series1 macro. I love both those lenses.
