So I decided to show you my last dreams standing on a shelf above me.
My first SLR was the brand new Minolta X-500,

I bought it when I was 15 years old. With the 50mm 1:1,7 lens. I was so proud. I felt as the king of photography! This one took pics in half Europe, from Moskow to Portugal. You have to choose the aperture and the cam got the speed and of course you have to focus manually. At the wedding of my friend the shutter broke.
My first dream I captured at ebay was one of the greatest cams in the 80th.
The Olympus OM2n with the 50mm 1:1,4 (!!) lens.
The next one I had to buy was the cam I wanted to buy when I was 15; before I saw the prizes!
My very black Minolta XD7 with the 135mm 1:2,8 lens.

With this cam I took pics at my first Tour in Namibia in summer 2007. It still works even without batteries!! Thats so great!
But of course I noticed, that digital is more comfortable, faster and cheaper (maybe).
So I get the Fuji S 5600

A very nice cam with 10x optical zoom and low needs of energy. With this cam I made a lot very nice and beautiful pictures and of course it is still working. But this winter I thought it was already time for a new SLR and this one should be a DSLR. The cam had to have 2 features - small and not too expensive. First I wanted a new Olympus but then I saw this one:
Here with my favorite lens, the 70mm ltd. This summer there will be the first big test for us, visiting Namibia again. I hope for some good shots!!
But I got another new cam, a present from my beloved wife:
It is made out of paper. A camera obscura! I tested it and in a few days maybe I show some pics...
