When I graduated high school in 1959, my favorite uncle, who was stationed in Japan with the Army, gave me a Petri 2.8 Color Corrected Super. Then in 1968, when I was in Germany in the Air Force, I got my first SLR, a Pentax S1a. I now have a Pentax K200D, several film SLRs, and several film rangefinders. I like to repair the fine vintage film cameras as well as take photos with them, and I like to use vintage lenses on the digital camera.
