I started with a Zenith EM, from my Father and then I ended up using an Olympus OM10 and an OM101, I then went off photography for years but a few years ago I started getting interested in it again.
I won a Canon bridge camera in a works competition which a few years later my wife lost and I ended up buying a Panasonic TZ5 as a compact camera, which then ended up with me getting an Olympus E500 and then my Father passed away 🙁
This ended up with me inheriting around 150 cameras from prewar to 2008.
From Leicas, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Rollei, Canon, Feds, Lomos, Mamiyas, and the list goes on and on!
I ended up with a lovely Panasonic, L1 which has an amazing lens, which in turn I've upgraded the body to an Olympus E3 with a load of yummy Zuiko lenses!
A few of my Fathers camera collection is here.

Canon 5D full frame and L lenses 😀
Had a Canon SLR, moved to a Minolta bridge with digital (had a couple), then to Sony for DSLR and Olympus for MILF.
No particular reason to move from Canon other than Minolta had a more attractive offering at the price I wanted at t he time. Moved to Sony mostly because of in-body stabilisation (same reason I went for Olympus).
Olympus for MILF.
Presumably that stands for something other than what I think it does, either that or you're into some pretty niche photography?
Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Format, at a guess. It's normally MILC though I thought, but this may be an attempt at humour.
Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Format 🙂
It predates MILC, which is crap.
Hey 5e did you see the pics of the new Pens posted recently?
I did. Luckily they're not a big enough jump from the old ones to tempt me into upgrading. Look good though.
I'm tempted. I just want to be able to make videos with my 8mm fisheye lens (which is still in America before anyone asks for pics).
I used my pen for a movie at Mayhem. Used the 17mm and some legacy lenses - 50mm f1.2 (used for most of it), 75mm f1.4 and 180mm f3.5.
It's a struggle to do things properly at Mayhem but I'm pleased with my half-arsed efforts:
Hehe, nice vid 🙂 I'd have edited out the wind noise tho.
