My Canon Story

[canon1dxman]

Ed,

We must be brothers from different mothers!

....and I could be your cousin! 2 x A1 bodies, stolen from a car in Portugal whilst on holiday. Replaced with T70's (I think that was what they were called) which didn't last long. Ah, the Vivitar Series 1's. Yes indeed, progress has been amazing since those halcyon days. Went through the T90 to EOS1's for motorsports work but finally gave up on my beloved Tri-X to go all digital when the 10D arrived.

Thanks for sharing this story. There's about ten years between us since I was a teenager during the 80's, but my Canon story is much shorter, i only started with Canon in 2006 I think, when I picked up the then brand new 400D with two lenses.

My parents are retired since long and they have converted thousands of images fromfilm to digital, I haven't gotten them over in my computer yet but your story makes me realize I need to do that before it's too late. I want to be able to have time to go through them all with them.

Again thanks and all the best!
