Hi!
    I begun to take pictures with an East German Praktica MTL 3 (full
mechanic camera) with a 35 mm lens. It was when I was going to primary
school. I was  12 or 13 years old. My next step was a Nikon F301 with 50/1.8
E series lens, the camera died after small crash, it was 4 years ago. 3
years ago I bought a Pentax MZ 3 (ZX 5n) AF camera, but I do not find AF as
a good solution for every kind of photography. That is why I bought a OM 2n
with 50/1.8, and since then I am a zuikoholic, not cured till now.
Regards
Marcin
