Other than my teenage experiences with a Kodak Instamatic and flashcubes, and a short (and expensive) time with a Polaroid Swinger hanging from my wrist at Toroto's Expo 67 World's Fair, my first "real" 35mm camera was a Yashica Electro 35 GSN. Man, I loved that camera. The way the shutter and film advance felt was well worth the money I paid for it back in the mid-70s. I was crazy to have sold it, but such is life.
In those days, I was addicted to b&w, shooting, developing and printing. I was amazed at how relatively easy it all was.

I recently bought a few cameras from the first half of the last century to see what I can capture and what I can learn.
I expect tons of mistakes, and many over-exposures, but I still plan to develop the film myself. But after that, it will be scanning and digitized manipulation for me.
