Started off with a Zenit E SLR, Doing Black and white and the darkroom thing. Eventually went to tranceparancies in colour using a dark bag and a spiral drum thingy.. I then went with a few of the first compact 35mm cameras eventually ending up with a Pentax Optio 33L in 2003. Thats been a great camera opening up the world of Didgital. As it was time to move on again I stuck with Pentax and bought the K-x. Onward and upward. I still have the old Zenit E it was my 21st present from my parents so that will never go.
