ES II Black body.
I was young but could somehow afford it with all sorts of accessories.  Did
not bother with P&S and do not remember why.  Perhaps because my father was
a Nikon buff and I must have thought that SLRs were the only REAL cameras
:-).
I remember I was impressed by an eye piece shutter of the ESII.  Hard to
find it on today's cameras.  It took a lot of photos, probably most family
photos were taken during this time with ESII.

Then ME came out and this was the start of my obsession with small, compact
and light weight cameras.  I thought ME was so sexy, although somewhat less
specified than ESII.  It was of course with M50/1.4.  It was late 70's, I
believe.

Soon after it, I took a sabbatical from the photography for along time,
concentrating on my other hobby.

Then, in 1998 or so, I was given an AF camera as a gift which stirred up my
interest in the photography again.
Look, now I have to shed some excess! :-).

Cheers,

Ken
