Do you remember what your VERY FIRST camera was?

Buying a new camera has me thinking back to my very first camera.  I remember mine was a Pentax K2.  I'd even bet I still have this camera somewhere in my storage. 

How about you?

Who didn't own a Polaroid in the 70's as a first camera?

My Polaroid was from the 60's. Had to coat the little B&W images with some type of goop to preserve the images. Still have some of those old prints too... Camera is long gone... Got the SLR in the 70's

My father had a Polaroid SX-70 that I remember getting to use.  It was a strange camera that folded up.  As for my first camera, it was a Canon compact 35RF

Mine was either a 210 or 220 model IIRC

I think I might still have one of those in the shop! Near as I can remember my first was a Brownie also. The one that made that one appear to be from another world.You had to look down through the top of the camera through a little window. Inly one lens on it.
