Has been a hobby of mine since the mid-80s. But I don't do a lot anymore. Back then, my equipment consisted of a Canon EOS 600, which I still consider to be the finest camera in the world

, an apochromatic 75-300/4.5-5.6, a 28-80/2.8-3.5, a 600/8.0-reflector, and a standard 50/1.4, which I used quite often, additional some filters, and macro-lenses (which are much better than their reputation). I tried to come along without flashlights, which sometimes was difficult, but acchievable by selecting the right film and time of day. Interest was nature, animals, sky, grass, macro-shots, landscape. You know some of my pics from the wmv-movie of mine that I showed in this forum one or two years ago.
Today, I do more snapshot, and shots of opportunity, if that much. For that, I use a Canon powershot A75. But it is no serious hobby anymore.
