I started with a used Kodak rangefinder in the early 60's, moved up to a Nikkormat in 65 or 66. Switched to an OM-1 for the size and more reliable light meter. Switched to an ME-Super for the size and a more reliable light meter. Have stuck with Pentax for the last 20 years or so because of reliability, quality design, backward computability of lenses, and because I prefer Subarus over Explorers, Macs over Windoze machines, fountain pens over ball points, intuition over structured processes, and a harsh cabernet over a mellow merlot. So call me an odd ball.
