I bought my first camera aged 10 with money saved from my newspaper round. It was a Russian Cosmic 35. I then graduated to an all manual Zenit B SLR with a prime 50mm lens and an external exposure meter. I used a magnifying glass to create my first zoom lens. When I got a real job I upgraded to a beautiful all black Canon A1 and a real Tamron zoom lens. Then I bought a Canon T90 and eventually a Canon EOS 650.
But like the story of the 'Pearl of Great Price' I eventually sold my Canon equipment and converted to Nikon who make the best lenses in the world. I began with the Nikon D200 DSLR, then graduated to a D300, and eventually to a full frame FX Nikon D700 and D3s then a D600.
I now use a Nikon D4s and D4 (they take the same battery!) with a Nikon D750 as my go-anywhere backup. I also usually carry a Sony RX100 in the car.
