cameras used

My first camera was an second hand Rapid Regula bought in Germany in July 1954. I was in the RAF at the time and this lasted until a posting to Singapore enabled me to get a Practica SLR. It was one of the early models without a rapid return mirror. A further move to Hong Kong introduced me to 8 mm film and the still camera changed to a Robot Royal which was a half frame and had a type of motor drive. I used it to shoot sequences of images to use in soccer referee training in which I was involved . On my return to the UK I eventually changed to a Hasselblad and an early Pentax Spotmatic. Then came a major change when I went over to the Nikon system starting with two second hand Nikkormats and a range of lenses. Eventually I changed from the Hasselblad ( broken shutter) to Mamya 6x7 and 645 and as far as Nikon was concerned I became a lecturer at the Nikon School and used number of dfferent bodies ending with F4's.

In 2000 I decided to go digital and bought the Nikon 990 and for several trips for a while I used both digital and film cameras.The Nikon 990 was followed by a Dimage 7 and then a Dimage A1 . The Dimage 7 was very good for Infra red photography. Below you will find links to images taken on a series of different digital cameras.

The Casio F1 came next as a partner to the Nikons. It was one of the only cameras at the time to have slo-mo video. Then followed a series of Nikon digital SLR's -the D70, D200 and D300. A Nikon P500 bridge camera has been taken over by a Fuji S1 and I now use a Sony Nex 7 and a Sony A6000 a great deal. A Nikon D7100 is mainly used for copying trannies ( using a bellows and Componon lens)

I added a Sony 6300 which was much better at focusing than the previous Sony's and this February 2019 moved to the a6400 which is really good with the new 18-135mm lens. I had used the Sony 18-200 for many years but the 18-135 is lighter and has very good definition
