Currently I possess 3 :

Sony HX350 Bridge Camera - My first ever camera!

Nikon EM Series 1979 - Passed down from my uncle who was clearing some bits and bobs out his garage.

Nikon D5600 DSLR - I didn't want to break the bank and got this one on a good sale (And I like the Nikon UI for the camera more than the Sony one)

I enjoy taking two types of photographs :

Portraits of people outdoors and indoors - SoSometimes for a new profile picture.

Animals - I enjoy taking photographs birds, squirrels, zoo animals and my cat whenever he's in a good striking pose.

What about you? Are you into photography as a hobby or profession?

My first camera was a Voigtländer Vito 2, don’t know the exact age but it’s from the 1950s. My grandmother gave it to me when I expressed interest in film photography, she said she hadn’t touched it in decades so I might as well have it. As soon as I put a roll through it and got the photos back, I was hooked. Even though most of the pictures were underexposed, I knew I wanted to keep shooting film.

After talking to my uncle about this, he rooted around in his closet and gave me my second camera: a Pentax K1000. Super chunky and heavy compared to the Voigtländer, so I felt more confident taking it with me places without breaking it.

I just picked up a third, a Nikon FE along with some telephoto lenses. I haven’t put a roll through it yet, but I’m excited to try.
