Let's take this thread to the next level... Does anyone have pictures of themselves with their first SLR camera?

No, but somewhere there are pictures of me with my Argus rangefinder. I'd really have to dig to find them, though.


My name is Lonnie, but I answer to Thomas too.

First SLR was an old Zeiss Icon Icarex 35s

Then a Minolta Maxxum 7000...

then a bunch of forgettable point and shoots...including such faves as a Kodak Disc camera

I got my first SLR last November, a Sony Alpha A200. I am currently 19.

I sold it earlier this week (after 3 months ownership!) and just got a Canon EOS 40D yesterday.

Good Lord, you're all making me feel old. Some of you got your SLR before your drivers license...

Just bought my first SLR in December, a Canon 50D, at 31 y/o. I was gonna go straight to full-frame but economy = garbage so I'll have to do stepping-stones for now.

Oh, and this is my premiere post to POTN.
