Technical notes.
I started taking pictures properly in the early 80's using a Yashica FX-D SLR, which I still have and use for B&W work. Later on it was joined by the excellent Contax 159MM which has taken most of the more recent work. I have no use for autofocus and would never consider using it unless I was working in sports photography. Lenses used are a 28mm Zeiss, 35-105mm Yashica, and a 80-200mm Tokina. I also have a Mamiya 645 Super, though it doesn't see as much use as I'd hoped. A recent addition is a digital camera - a small Kyocera S3L 3.2 Megapixel which is great for those circumstances where the SLR gear is too difficult to carry. Stability of the SLRs is much improved by use of a monopod as I find tripods too awkward for most circumstances unless I'm on my own and doing a specific phototrip rather than a general hill-walking one.
