When I began to be interested in photography around 1970, I used the Kodak 
Instamatic of my father. 1976 I got a Konica Autoreflex T3 with 1.7/50 for 
my 16th birthday. A 28mm was my next lens, then a 200mm, a used 1.8/85mm 
(what a great performer), extension rings and other stuff followed.

25 years later I got into rangefinders through another Konica, the Auto-S3, 
that I had found at a flea market. The S3 didn't work and I was searching 
the web for informations about it, so I found Stephen Gandy's Cameraquest. 
A Bessa L and a M6 were the next (logical) steps...
