My stages...
1. For the first 10 years or so I shot with a camera that had two settings, sunny and cloudy.
2. I bought an SLR with a zoom! A Zoom??? oh er... frightening! but such possibilities!
3. I went digital and got frustrated with a lethargic Fuji Finepix S602.
4. I bought a DSLR and wondered why 28mm wasn't remotely wide anymore (there weren't any FF DSLR's in those days) and I shot just as I did with film, I set the ISO speed to either 100, 400, 800 or 1600 and just left it there all day.
5. I realised I didn't have to use my DSLR as if it was an SLR.
6. I bought a FF DSLR.
7. I got sick of my DSLR and lenses being much bigger and heavier than a 35mm film set up.
8. I went mirrorless.
9. I bought lots of old lenses.
10. I bought a FF mirrorless.
11. I bought some AF lenses.
The End (I hope.)
