Olympus OM10 then an Olympus OMG (or vice versa, it's been so long, I can't remember).

I don't have my first "real" camera any more (a Miranda F), but I do have my first professional-grade cameras - the Nikon F's shown below. I bought them in 1967 and they still work just fine after a LOT of use.

To the OP - do we really need this thread seeing we already have https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=436551 up and running? To me they are covering exactly the same ground.

I used to use a little fold out medium format camera rather like that, mostly for b&W landscape, I wonder what happened to it....

Vivitar SLR of some kind. Took Pentax screw mount. Had it for about a year, then got an A-1.


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

First owned was a second hand Argus. First bought new was a Minolta SRT-101. I have since owned too many Minoltas to remember. First D-SLR was a Konica-Minolta 5D, since I had a lot of Minolta lenses. Now all is gone, and I have a Canon 40D and three Canon lenses (10-22, 17-55 f2.8 IS, 70-200 f2.8L IS).


I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Yashica Penta J in about 1961. Used it until about 1975 when it was stolen and I replaced it with a Canon Ftb. Been Canon ever since. Yes, I'm an old dude.

My first SLR was a Pentax ME-Super. I dropped it and cracked the housing and it was gone. My next SLR was a Canon Elan II-E, which I still have and I then got my XTi.
