My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 100 that I bought for $15 (a summer's worth of lawn mowing). Hey, photography is fun!
My father had a Kodak Pony that frustrated him; it fascinated me. Camera #2. My girlfriend (now wife) got a Mamiya-Sekor DSX 500 as a graduation gift. I used it more than she did. When the M-S died in a fall, I bought a Pentax Super Program (a much better-built machine than the Nikon N2000 that the store also had for me to play with). I bought a second one; gave it away; still have the first one (to beaten up to sell). Then PZ-1 (sold), PZ-1p (sold), ist-D, K10D (nice camera; my son is using it now), K-7, and K-5. I have no plans to buy another camera until Pentax comes out with an answer to the Fuji mirrorless models. Sometimes an impulse strikes, though… Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 4:14 PM, paul stenquist <pnstenqu...@comcast.net> wrote: > >> On Mar 21, 2015, at 12:59 PM, P.J.
