Yes. I started with a Minolta SRT101 because that's all I could afford. As
soon as I could afford to, I switched to Leica.

Pentaxes and minoltas of various grades, Practicas, Canon SLRs and
rangefinders, Konica SLRs and Ricoh fixed-lens P&S, the Nikon F and
Nikkormats, Instamatics from cheap disposables to Kodak SLRs with Schneider
lenses.  Most if not all were substantially less costly than the
contemporaneous Leicas.
