My first camera was Olympus 35ED (maybe wrong) rangefinder as a birthday 
gift from my father when I was 10 years old. I specifically had 
requested a Ricoh XR2n, an SLR, but he said it was too early for me 
then. I did not like that camera. Now that I know much better about 
rangefinder type camera and I have to  admit he picked a right one for 
me. From time to time I used different sort of SLR's but now I returned 
to a good old rangefinder type, Leica M-4P, and it will probably stay as 
my main camera.

Sometimes I need an SLR for certain types of photos, or just for fun, 
and now I have Nikon F2 Photomic for those purposes:  my dad  used to 
own two of them as his main equipments. :-P

Cheers

Tom.
