Your First Camera vs Your Latest Camera

I always look back fondly on how I first got into analog photography. My entry into photography as a whole was sparked when I got the results of my first Fuji disposable camera. After that I fell in love with the look of film, I decided to look for a film camera at local flea markets and antique stores. The first camera I bought was a Minolta SRT MC-II with a 50 f1.4 at a flea market. With a broken light meter and fungus filled lens, I was in awe that I finally got my own SLR. I didn’t even know how to use it properly yet. That was over 4 years ago. My latest pick up, over a year ago, was one of my dream cameras, a Fuji GW690iii. I’m curious how you all got your start in film photography and also how far you’ve come. How did you like your first camera? Have you acquired your dream camera(s) yet? If not, what’s on that list? Wherever you are in your analog journey, happy shooting :)
