[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 753619, member: 24569"] I started with a Kodak Brownie when I was seven, and some of the pictures I took with it still stand up as pretty good, if I do say so myself. My dad really supported my photographic interest, even building me a darkroom in the house. He got me an Instamatic, then let me use his Agrus C3, and later his Koncia Autoreflex SLR. I used that in college and earned a few extra bucks doing sports photography. I stayed with Konica for a good long time, owning a few different bodies. Then autofocus came along. I could certainly see the value of this for sports photography, which was still an interest for me. I got a film Nikon SLR because as a kid that had always been my dream camera. I think it was an N85 or something like that. When digital came I didn't take it very seriously at first, and I got a Nikon point and shoot that was handy on trips and family gatherings. When I saw how easy it was to handle digital, and so much cheaper than paying for film and processing, I decided to go for a used Nikon D70. I had a 70-300 and went out to take pictures of some Pelicans we had seen at a local pond. That was the beginning my biggest passion in photography, wildlife. After a while a D7100, the D7200, then 2 D500s came into my collection, along with an assortment of lenses. Being retired, I can spend ridiculous amounts of time with my hobby, and Nikons remain my favored tools. [/QUOTE]
