I began my photography with a Kodak Instamatic then progressed onto a Praktica LTL3. However, when that fell to pieces I moved onto an X700 with various bits of glass in about 1980. I added an X300 to have a second body. I must have been a lot fitter in those days to carry 2 bodies plus glass and filters etc.
I bypassed the early 35mm autofocus days as none of the camera shops would give me what I saw as a fair trade-in for my equipment. I decided that as I preferred landscapes etc, which didn't move much, why buy an autofocus.
So, my next Minolta was the Dimage 5 which, at the time was a considered purchase. I then upgraded to the A1. Both cameras I liked for the flexibiity of not having to change lenses, their lightness and the new enthusiasm that digital gave me.
However, the desire to have a range of lenses (wideangle and macro) made me decide to upgrade again to the KM Dynax 5. This is currently my main camera. I also have the X1 to carry around for parties and the like.
So, that's my history in cameras...
