My first SLR camera

This was my first serious camera – a Canon F1 ( circa 1976).  It had a Sigma 28 – 85mm zoom lens that I LOVED.  This was the time before auto-focus and super-zooms.  I cut my photo-teeth on this camera.  It also had a cool interchangeable viewfinder.

Over the last 30+ years I shot thousands of photos (on film) and the wear on the body & lens is obvious.  It sits proudly on my mantle as a reminder of old technology and my roots.

Thanks Dad.
