I was an avid photographer, colour and B&W, for 10 years or so and then dropped it. I only shot when on holidays. I used Pentax S1a bodies with a 21, 28, 50, 135 and 400 mm lenses, with a Gossen Lunasix hand meter.
Twenty five years later, I discovered digital, and began shooting again. Canon XT with the 18-55 mm kit lens. And I began scanning in my Kodachromes from long ago.
Now I mostly use a 55-250 mm lens on the Canon and also a Lumix LX3 and Lumix FZ40
