Bought a Zenit EM waaaay back. Progressed to a Yashica FR2 then to an Olympus OM10. Had a long lay off from photography as a hobby when my daughter was born. Last year I bought a Minolta SLR and was amazed how sophisticated modern SLR's are. Have just bought a digital compact, and again am amazed at what it can do. I'm enjoying hobby photography again.
