Maybe her MOM! I think the last Flash Cubes were sold out well before 1980---or maybe '85.

That was my first camera. I took many pictures with it when I was in the Navy.

Stores still sold flash cubes into the early 1990's, but not for the Instamatic 104; those were discontinued sometime in the early 80's. I remember this because at some point I was forced to retrofit cubes from another camera model to work with my Instamatic. A fun camera. I got many years of enjoyment from it, until it eventually fell apart in 1993, while I was traveling through Europe.

Oh yes. In those days you could spend more time in dealing with the composition of the picture and not have to deal with all kinds of settings.

Days gone by: as a salesman for hp may years ago I sold equipment to the inventor of the flash cube.

Ha! So did mine. My father must have purchased her every new camera that came on the market in the fruitless hope she could compose a shot decently...she never did.

My first camera too. I took it with me everywhere. It ignited my lifetime enjoyment of photography. Last pictures I took with it were our honeymoon in New York. Bought my first 35mm camera, a Voigtlander Vitomatic II rangefinder, in 1965 and am still enjoying photography over 50 years later. Thanks for bringing back great memories.
