In the early-to-mid-60s I learned for the first time controlled photograpy with an Exakta IIa.
Later, around ~ 1967, came a Nikon F mount Nikkormat, which was the system that made me seriously hooked on photography.
That Nikon F mount system has definitely been my greatest tool for film based photography, especially my favorite optic, a wonderful, fast, manual focus Nikkor 85mm lens.
It was that lens that opened my eyes to optical rendering and 'magic', and since then I have had the interest in good optics: binoculars, spotting scopes, and camera lenses.
