Dad put his 35mm in my hands in 1971 when I was 8 years old. I had an old Kodak Instamatic that took 126 film before that for a couple years (and for years afterward). Got my very own 35mm a few years later when I was in my teens. First autofocus was in 1985 when I got a Minolta Maxxum 5000 and a couple lenses. I still have that camera body someplace, as well as the Ricoh and the Konica I had before the Minolta.
Bought a digital point and shoot back in 2004 to see what the hype was about
. First DSLR was picked up Oct 2008.
Talked to Dad this morning, it was actually around '68 or '69 when he showed me how to use his 35mm
