this was my first professional camera, and despite being a film camera instead of digital, it's STILL my favorite 10 years later! this camera does everything but the dishes, and the eye-controlled focus is my FAVORITE feature. at a point in my career when i was "on the fence" about whether or not to continue on that particular path, this camera pushed me forward. i was reminded why i started taking pictures in the first place, and i rediscovered the excitement, creativity, and versatility of photography, both as a hobby and as a career!
