The first camera that was truly mine was a Pentax K1000 with a 50mm f2 lens that i bought for $149 with money I made selling my 4H steer.

My first love was an Eastman Kodak Brownie Target six-16. (I still have it!)
Followed by a Spartus with a side flash.
After that it was generations of Pentax until I saw the Canon light. No Nikon regrets (I can't afford them anyway!)

Yeah, I still have a few Pentaxian regrets, but at the time they were falling behind their "competition" and each new model made my older lenses obsolete. I have dozens of Pentax lenses and 5 different model Pentax film camera bodies hanging around as potential paper weights.
However, I still burn thru a roll of film once in a while on my ancient but reliable Pentax Spotmatic II. It just has a light meter powered by a battery that lasts 10 years at times.

I dont know what kind it was, I was probably around 8 years old when my folks gave it to me. I remember that I had to lift the lid on the top and look down at the top to see the image. It was fun but I dropped it over the side of our boat and as far as I know its still somewhere at the bottom of the lake.

My first was a Kodak Instamatic 101 I believe it was. It used the "flashcubes" I remember my folks had an Argus. I don't remember the model, but you looked down through the top and it obviously had a 45degree mirror for focusing. That was a very long time ago.

my original was a old kodak, that had the little metal cover you slide over the opening to expose then close the opening, if i remember i think it used the old 126 film
