Remembering our earlier poll that discovered that most of us don't switch systems if we can help it, I thought it would be interesting to see what got you into the system you use. So, go to the home page to tell us what most influenced your first camera purchase.
Technically this is a different question to 'what was your first camera' because you may not have bought it yourself. But I'd say this is a good time to discuss that too.
Mine was a Kodak 127 Brownie that leaked light though the back door. My Mum gave it to me when she bought a 110 Fuji thing. Fancy swapping medium format for 110. I was only 10 but I knew even then I'd got the better end of the deal.
