What were you shooting in 2001!

[B-9]

We had one of the Mavica floppy disk cameras.

Dad worked real estate and used it often.

A few years later I inherited it and loved using it.

I still have 2 of them and a hoard of disks.

A Nikon F301 with Tokina 28-70mm zoom lens. Vivitar Series-1 70-210 mm Tele and Nikkor 50mm f1.4 for low light conditions.

This was all I needed for many years shooting slides only.

My first digital was the Nikon Coolpix 5000. I was shooting film since 1974, when I got my first camera.

I had to really think about this. Mostly because the memory isn't what it used to be 😉

In 2001, I was all film all the time. Primary shooter was a Nikon FE-2 with motor drive. Zooms fell way short of my standards, but I used them because of budget. I had a mix of Tamron and Nikkor zooms and primes. My "best" lens for Nikon at that time was my 105/2.5 Nikkor.

I also used rangefinders in 2001. Mostly because the lenses blew me away. My Hi-Matic-E truly surprised me when I saw the results. My Canon QL-17 was nice too, but I think the Hi-Matic had a better lens. I also had a Leica IIIa and Canon 50/1.8, but I seem to have preferred using the "automatic" cameras then.

I had other cameras then too. I've always had a "collection" so there were others in the mix during 2001. So many I can't recall them all. But no digital yet. First digital came along around 2004/5 with a P+S.

I had just sold my Leicas and was using a Deardorff 5x7 & 2 Fuji GW/GSW 6x9 one with a 90 and one with a 65.

Pentax K1000 and Olympus Stylus Zoom. Exclusively color negative film at the time.

If anything, maybe a disposable camera? I was only a freshman in high school at the time
