My SLR photography started around 1980 with a Nikkormat FT2. Sold it shortly afterwards because I was young and out of money. Next were a Praktica and then a Voigtländer VSL 1. The latter broke while on holiday in Boulogne in 1996. We hopped across the Channel to look for a quick replacement and found a second-hand P50 at Jessops in Maidstone.
Forgot one that's still dear to my heart. Between the Praktica which went the way of all Prakticas after a few rolls and the Voigtländer, I had a Fujica ST605N, a very compact SLR with M42 thread, actually as small as an M-series Pentax, with a wonderfully bright viewfinder for this period. It's still sitting on top of my photo cupboard in the living room with some of my other retired cameras.
There's also a Minox 35GT I got from my father that never worked correctly. Would have loved to use it but when the metering went erratic just after the shutter had been repaired I gave up on it.
