An old Polaroid folder. Don't remember the model ( might have been a 210), back in 1967. First 35mm was a Minolta SRT 101 in 1969

A plastic fantastic camera I got in the mail by sending in cereal box tops. It was horrible but the images would be considered art now. My next camera was a Polaroid Swinger. It was white. My first real camera was a Pentax MX. My first digital camera was a Minolta DImage 7 which I still have and use mostly for infrared shots.

Mine was an old 120 camera my grandfather gave me. You set the focus by the distance scale, and the f-stop was fixed at f8. Was a fun little camera to start out with.

A simple box camera, 126 roll film.  So long ago that I have forgotten the brand name.

The first camera I used was my Mom's:  Kodak Brownie box camera. (Now there goes my age). When I was a student at University, I saved money and bought a Praktica SLR 35mm. Only 3 years ago I bought my first DSLR. I still love my hobby.

The first camera I used used to be my father's, a Kodak fold up for 120 film with a little prism foldout viewfinder and a lever shutter release on the side of the lens. My first "modern" camera was a Nikkorex (film) with a 50mm fixed Nikkor lens. I still have some of the prints.  My firstSLR was a Nikkorex F, followed by an F2sb, which I still use. And the first DSLR was a D1x, now a paperweight. Ah, memories...:)
