Currently using a film Nikon as one option...
and agree that their film cameras and lenses are top notch... the used equipment was very affordable until recent years when a lot of the stuff started get snatched up to be used with adapters on the new small digital cameras and/or being purchased by regional tourists.
For historical reasons my dSLR is from Canon, so can't really comment on Nikon digital from personal experience.
How about a photo of your first camera... ;-)

Real challenge...
Thanks for the reason to look back thru the archives... spent a couple of very enjoyable hours scratching the surface... Found a couple that were kind of mile-stones rather than very first. The Paris photo was taken in the summer of 1969 using (most likel...

Photos as requested...
This Camera has been in my hands for so many years, but the photos taken with it did not survive. Maybe my family members still have some. You are using Canon , even though there are so many choices in cameras . I think Canon is also one of the best. Rega...
That's a beauty...
According to my understanding, the "Zenit (Зени́т) TTL" is a Russian made camera with (in the model shown) T hrough- T he- L ens-metering and a M42 thread mount. The 6-element 58mm f/2.0 "Helios" is based on the pre-war Zeiss Biotar lens. One note: I assu...
Yes it is true...
my Zenith is with me since childhood . I did not now about adapters , and I intend to do research. I assume you can turn your 35mm film camera in to digital camera, with an adapter? Thank you Casy tor the tips on the battery , there is one inside the body...
