Well, where to begin?
Camera and photography guy since 1973 when I was 19.....where did all that time go?
Have been seriously collecting vintage SLR's and their lenses for the last 20 years.
My wife also maintains her own collection of the same.
My collection of lenses is over 170.....
I suppose I have held out long enough, refusing to buy a digital camera with interchangeable lenses till now. Have stuck with film as medium of choice till now.
With that collection of excellent glass......the appeal of an affordable 4/3 digital seemed to finally make sense.
So, I purchased 2--Panasonic Lumix G1's...one for me and one for my wife.
She will get her's on Christmas. Waiting for one of the two to arrive and a few adaptors also.
I've read all the positives and all the negatives of using legacy glass on these cameras. So, I know what I am getting into-lol.
I hope this will be a positive experience and allow us to enjoy our vintage lenses even more.
Oh, and by the way I am a co-owner of the Camera Collectors Board The Camera Collector - Home and the owner of the vintageslrs yahoo group vintageslrs : Vintage SLRs and a moderator on the Mamiya 35mm Forum Mamiya 35mm Forum - Home and the owner and data keeper of the newly revived Pentax M42 Forum/Database Pentax M42 database & forum - Home .
Happy to be here.
