Thank you, Sue, for this challenge. A very nice start and should bring a lot of nostalgic memories from everyone for everyone.

I used Mom and Dad’s Kodak Brownie camera growing up, and the early processing involved developing black and white film and making contact prints on a Sears and Roebuck Tower Light Box. That was a special Christmas present one year, however prints the size of a 620 film frame were pretty lame. I bought my first camera while in college around 1962 time frame. It was a Bell and Howell Electric Eye 127, guess what? They made 127 slide film, all the way up ASA 400 ….I was hooked. I the bought my first 35mm SLR Konika while on a TDY assignment to Japan in the AF around 1966 time frame. Here are a couple of my favorite scanned slides from those two. Of course these are a lot older than Y’all been posting. Kind of ages me a bit.

Whoops, memory lapse, that first Konika was a range finder 35mm camera that I left on the back seat of a cap in Siagon in 1967. A friend took his R&R to Hong Kong and I had him buy me that SLR Konika I thought I was talking about. That was the camera that had the 50mm, f/1.2 lens I loved so much. However, sometime in the late 80’s I lost that one also when someone broke into our home and help themselves to some of our stuff. That got replaced by the insurance company with a Minolta 35mm SLR, but the 50 mm lens was now an f/1.4 along with a replacement for my 28mm wide angle. I should have insisted on a Konika replacement, but in the end it really didn’t matter as the two merged. I shot a lot of film through that camera on vacations and special getherings. Some of it was even acceptable.
In 2001 I bought our first Digital Sony Cyber Shot 3 megapixel camera. A few of my first images with the 3MP equipment.

A big thank you! to everyone who participated in this challenge! It was great to see the really good shots taken with what we now consider to be antiquated equipment and it goes to show that it is true that it's the skill of the person behind the camera that is more important than the camera itself!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving - stay safe if you're travelling and enjoy being with your family and friends!

I love the sandy baby feet and the garage doors are a really unique design - I wouldn't mind having similar ones here.

So the body of the camera equipment keeps changing but the lenses still fit. Considering that a good thing. Somewhere along the line the Minolta was replaced with a Konika-Minolta, but while cruising the Oregon coast one summer we spent some time in Brookings just North of the California state line. Well wouldn't you know while walking along the beach in the surf a sneaker wave took my ankles and feet out from under me and resulting in the salty drink killing my last film camera.
