Tools of the trade...
I'm often asked what camera kit I use so I thought I'd list it here so I could just point to a link with it all there. Truth be known I started out at 17 (in the late 60s) borrowing my father's Nikon Nikkormat FTN - he taught me the basics and that camera was the perfect start. Eventually I got a second hand one myself, along with a 50mm lens and, much later, a pretty battered press photographer's old 105mm from the early 80s when they still used lead in the glass. I've no idea why but the depth of that lens was just extraordinary. I wish I'd never parted with it because its less bettered and more modern replacement was not a patch on it. No lead but loads of new fangled coatings. Progress? Over the years I changed camera bodies numerous times... F3 , two F4 s, etc. Then after a very short flirtation with an instantly forgettable Canon body of some sort, which I simply couldn't get on with, back to Nikon. Thank goodness I hadn't sold my Nikkor lenses!
