First was an Argus A2 and then an Argus C3 but my first camera after I really caught the bug was a Minolta SRT 101 which I purchased entirely with coupons from my job.

My first camera was a small folding camera, Univex, which i obtained by sending three bread wrappers and twenty five cents to the Manischewitz bread company. This camera came with size 00 film, which of course I could never get anywhere else. However, I took a number of pictures with it at the 1939 Worlds Fair.

Also have the same one bruce. Built like a tank, and the shutter is still as smooth as can be on a long exposure.

My first camera was an unknown brand that I got with Bazooka Bubblegum comics. This was I the mid-50's. It used 127 film.

My first camera, after the Brownie Hawkeye, was a Zeiss - Ikon Contina, that I wanted for a graduation present after high school. Somewhere in between the Hawkeye and the Contina, I had an old folding 116 Kodak rollfilm camera.

My first camera was an Eastman Kodak Brownie Junior that an uncle gave me. I still have it in the original box (I take good care of things). And yes, I have prints of photos I took with it. There was only black and white film in those days. My second and third cameras were German made Exacta SLRs. Completely manual and no built-in exposure meter. They gave out after 40 years or so, but I'd still use them if I could find someone who could repair them. Those Zeiss-Tessar lenses were unbeatable.
