@POPS I have a Nicon D510o DSLR camera with the 18-105mm lens that came with it, along with a 70-200mm & 200-300mm I purchased soon afterwards. Whils’t no the most expensive its a cracking bit of kit and has saved me a fortune agains’t school photo’s since owning it. Infact its more thanpaid for it self.
Ike you say, they are hefty bits of kit to lug around everyday, and it only now comes out for school photo’s or if going somewhere extra special. Thankfully we have smartphones with ever improving camera’s. I’m not aware ofa mirror lense on android yet, but the iphone 15 seems an interesting device, if as rumours suggest it has the tech.
No matter what we dip are toe’s into during our life, It’s valuable experience gained 🙂
