My brief camera history:

Back in my pre - teenager time, i had first contact to the photography. With a cheap Agfa magazine film camera from my parents i exposed a whole film with unsharpened photos of my Lego(TM) rockets.

Later, when i was ~20 i got my first SLR, a Practica as gift from the neighbors lady.

Also i began to make pictures in b/w. Disappointed from the bad results of the factory exposed images, i build my own darkroom.

The darkroom meant to print large pictures. So i realized, that 35 mm is quite to small to get blowed up without filmgrain like an army of ants on my prints.

So i went out to buy a used Mamiya 645 1000s.

This brick was my friend on many trips and travels until a few years.

A few years later, the darkroom felt a sleep. The computer had moved in. The Mamiya survived, scanning the huge negatives...

until i bought in 2003 my first 5 MP camera. A Minolta Dimage 7i was my new love. At least i sold her to a mate and swapped to a Finepix9500. I thought this will be my best one for the next years..

I thought, now i am back on a camera with interchangeable lens called Panasonic G1 and i am lucky...the next years.
