Om my God. Am an old and full of gray hairs now. But this was just forwarded to me from an old high school friend I have not spoken with in years. This is a super dork image. But this is from my senior year in high school 1980! Don't laugh !! 😝 https://www.nikon-zf.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1698366836.0.jpg Nikon F2 and Nikon F.

Nikkormat in 1969. (mine was branded Nikkormat, not Nikomat) (traded up to F2) F2 Photomic in 1971. (sold it in the UK in '73 so I could buy a plane ticket back to LA) '74 to '84 various brands. (my happy 'budget' years) FM2 in 1984. (gift from my wife, still have it) Boatload of digitals in the 00s, Teens, 2020s. Went through Nikon D70, D200, D700, D7200 (all gone) Z6II in 2022 (traded up to Z8) Z8 in 2023. -along the way: Pentax, Canon, Toshiba, Fuji X and GF, Kodak, Rolleiflex TLR, Bronica, Contax... film, digital, I like both. I still screw up focus and exposure to this day, but I have a lot of fun doing it!
