I share a very similar story, though I began with a Nikon 35mm SLR, and though I used, and use, it mostly manual or arperture priority, i sensed something was missing, something in the learning process. I have since filled in most of the blanks, but it took a neigbor shooving a 4x5 Crown and poloroid back into my hands and the rest may be considered history. History in the sense that the camera sent me packing for its history, and of course, using it taught me more than any of the books I had been reading. Or rather, What I had been reading became practical application. I tried and like the old TLR's, but it just doesn't compare. I recently took my mothers old Brownie Flash six-20 out and shot up a couple rolls of tmax. It wasn't really what I expected, but I did order a couple more rolls of film so I have some spools ( I even have the flash and some bulbs).
Unfortunately, I am not famous yet, but when I am, I trust I will comply with this post, but it seems we have altered it irripairably. I did notice that my Century caught the eye of a certain photo instructor at CSULB the other day. Being a history major, he wouldn't offer me the time of day one upon a time.
Sorry for the babble.
Stephen
