I got my first camera when I was 14 years old - a Kodak Tele-Instamatic 608. In 1980, I upgraded to a Fujica STX-1. I went from there to a Minolta XE-7, then to a Nikon FM2. I picked up a Mamiya 645 along the way. Then I switched to Digital, first with a Canon PowerShot S7, then to a Canon PowerShot G10. I went full frame with a Canon 5D Mark II, then upgraded to a 5D Mark III a few years later.
For over a decade, the only lens I used was a Nikkor 28mm for the Nikon FM2. Even now, with a Canon 17 to 45mm variable focal length lens, I spend more time at the 17 to 28mm range than anywhere else. I love the breadth and depth of a wide angle lens. It helps me tell a bigger story, and create a more epic world.
