Fascinated by photography from my teenage years, and my first real camera was a German Kodak Retinette in 1957. Had fun with others including Russian Leica copies such as the Zorki, and then my first venture into SLRs was in 1970, with an SP500. That was followed by other Pentaxs including a SP1000 and ME Supers. Along the way I tried various OMs Canons and Nikons -really liked the OM series- but come the digital era it was back to Pentax with K10>K7>K5>K5(2).
