My serious interest in aircraft began sometime in 1977 with the logging of registrations and my photographing of aircraft started at the very
beginning of the 1980’s. My first 35mm camera was a Miranda (an original Japanese manufactured model, not the variant marketed by, I think,
Dixons some decade or so later). I still have this camera, stored in a shoe box for posterity!
In subsequent years I have had a variety of 35mm film cameras including manual focus Minoltas (X-GM & X-700), and auto focus Canons (EOS500 &
500N).
In 2004 I bought my first digital camera – a Konica Milnolta Z1 – which I used in tandem with my 35mm film cameras until Agfa withdrew from the slide
film market. I decided then to convert totally to digital and bought myself a Canon EOS350D, and some time later upgraded to an EOS400D.
With the temptation to try other manufactures wares – and the usefulness of eBay! – last year I changed my ‘kit’ and now use a Nikon D80. Very recently
temptation got the better of me again and I bought into Pentax – a K10D – which I have yet to put through it’s paces, so only time will tell how I rate my
latest DSLR.
Anyway, enough of my ‘hobby history’ and on to the few images that I have uploaded to accompany my post. I am the first to admit that they pale in
comparison to the quality of most of the images that are regularly uploaded to this Forum. My only defence is that they are scanned images of original
slides which date back almost 30 years, and it is well known that 35mm transparencies degrade over time, and added to which, I still haven’t quite
mastered the art of scanning anyway.
Thank you for looking,
Regards to all,
Peter

A great idea having an airline of the week post.
