I have been shooting for almost 45 years. I worked with the best as an assitant NYC from 85/95. My camera of choice was the Pentax 6x7. A beast to lug around. I briefly had the Pentax 645. Worked and loved the Hasselblad but very costly. I used almost all makes and models as an assistant. Most photogs back then used Hasselblad in the studio, Nikon on location. Nikon was my first camera at the age of 15. Great company. I stopped shooting seriously when film just about died. 2005? Digital was very expensive for a quality system and didn't have what I wanted in a camera. A simple, manual version of a film camera. Around 3 years ago I started shooting again. Prices had really come down on good camera so I tried the Nikon 1 V1 and a few lenes. No regrets on this excellent mirrorless small sensor camera. I have since sold that system and moved on to the Nikon full frame Z6. The V1 is a great value compact system although no longer made.. Nikon also has free software for their users. I've attached my pinterest page. A lot the images shot I used the Nikon V1. Good luck. There are so many great cameras now. https://www.pinterest.com/travelgears3/nyc/
