Hi .
At 64 , cameras and considered snapshooting keep the shadows of lostness / Autism and Miss Alignment / Severe Gender Dysphoria , at bay .
I have a collection of Kievs and some Contax / Kiev hybrids plus lots of USSR Leica-likes and derivatives and some old SLRs including Praktina .
I mostly use digi-boxes -
a once-in-a-lifetime Leica M8 beautifully adapted to 50mm Kiev lenses etc . I love the nominal 67mm crop factor , and a CV 35mm Color Scopar which is superb .
A Pentax K10D used with manual K 50 / 28 lenses .
Twin Leica Digilux 3 and Panasonic body with two Olympus zooms [ my 1st ever long zoom ! ] also adapted to my 35 f1.8 / 50 f1.4 / 135 etc Rokkors .
Recently an ex-dem Panasonic G1 , mostly with a neat , black 50 f 3.5 I22 USSR ' Elmar ' [ Tessar ] with leather collar to stop it collapsing ... plus a Sony A290 which was an unexpected gift , 'cos it does not bristle with knobs and dials like most DSLRs . I can also use my old Minolta AF lenses .
