In my case I started shooting with Nikon gear (a black F with an 85  
1.8 & 28 3.5) in 1971 but the rig was stolen in 1972 (on my way to my  
first photo gig in Canada.).  I bought an M4 with a 35 & 90 to  
replace the Nikon gear.  They were stolen in '73...

Last month I bought another black Nikon (this time with an FTn  
finder).  It came with a 50 1.4 (which produces great images, in my  
short experience) and I quickly got another 85.  The ergonomics of  
the F w/85 1.8 felt immediately familiar after a 35 year absence...
