Subject: [Leica] first camera.

My first real camera was a Canon AE1 Program.  Before that, I used to take 
pictures of my friends and me jumping on the trampoline, shooting 
basketball, and riding our CT 70 Honda Trail bikes.  In fact, I also have 
some early 70's polaroid shots of the bikes.

Now, I have a M6 and a D70.  The M6 doesn't get much use any more.
