Maaaan, I first learned photography in high school on an old Pentax. Wish I could say I still had the same C&V love for film photography as I do for bikes, but I've been bit by the modern convenience bug.
It still has me really wanting to get the Olympus mirrorless Pen-F, but that only appears vintage. I guess you could say the same for a number of "keepers of the flame" modern steel bicycles.
