Yes! Carry that second camera all the time, but don’t use it! Remember it’s just in case your first camera breaks.

I ordered some developing B&W equipment to be delivered to Mexico City. They said the ETA (estimated time of arrival) would be 5 labor days and I got it exactly 5 days later. I’m sure that you will receive it pretty soon. Good luck.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I can’t get the D6 off my head
What about you?

Hi Paco Fernandez
A friend of mine has the same Praktica first camera given to him as a boy by his father. He thought it was lost while moving but found it recently while unpacking. It is the only sentimental and intimate remembrance of his Dad! I asked him if his father was a photographer “Sure Was”.

It’s great to bring all these memories back. I’m glad most of you enjoy remembering them.

Mid seventies my future wife got me interested in photography with her Rollei SL35. We used it till 1984 when we purchased a pair of Olympus om1n. First digital was a Kodak 5 meg. sensor, then an Olympus e-510. My wife mainly uses the Olympus, and I use the NIkon D7200 that I bought in 2016, still lovin’ it! Great thread, Francisco,welcome!

I’ve stopped posting on UHH but your post brought back many happy memories. I dug through my archives and found an image I took of my first camera, a Voigtlander Vitomatic II. I still have the camera, although I haven’t shot it in ages, and will always consider it my favorite camera. My Voigtlander introduced me to the joy of photography and taught me the basics. Thanks for the chance to relive those memories, Francisco.

Thank you John, I had the same feeling, like if I were flying back in time to those good old days in which we didn’t have to worry about anything but “how will my pictures come out?” these memories are here with us, forever.

Yes, you’re right those were the lenses that you could get in those days for Prakticas. Thanks for sharing your story.

Hi fellow hoggers! I’m Paco Fernandez from Mexico City. I would like to share a little bit of nostalgia from the times of analog photography. These two cameras I’m talking about are, my first SLR, which I bought at a department store in 1970, (on my mother’s account) and paid her religiously every month. Back then I was 18 years old.
Now after searching for some time I finally found the exact model I used to have in those days a Praktica Super TL, German made by Pentacon.
The other one is my current camera the Nikon D850, as everybody knows Japanese made.
*Note: My very very first camera actually was a Kodak Instamatic 50 and it was a gift from my father back in 1963, I was only 11 years old. I remember I used to open the camera’s film cover right after taking a picture to see if there was something visible on the film!!
I believe it would be interesting if you guys could share stories or anecdotes of your first camera ever, at least, I would be very interested in reading them. Thank you very much

Hello! Not to panic. What I suggest you do is to handle every thing manually. I know, I know it sounds scary, but it’s not, going manual gives you total control of the situación, camera and flash. Since your session is outdoors at night, first I would set the ISO at 400 and maybe a little higher. You shouldn’t have any problem with your D7200, it can handle noise very well and at 400 you won’thave any noise issues. I don’t think using TTL is a good idea outdoors, since the darkness out there might fool the meters, anyway recreate the scenario you think you’re going to find in your real session, outside your house, using some friends or family as your models. Now regarding the camera, start by setting thr flash and the camera on MANUAL MODE. Set the flash at 1/4 of its power an the camera at 1/125 and f/5.6, see how it comes out. There you will have a good start and a very good idea of what you have to change. Remember changing the camera speed won’t affect the flash brightness only the enviroment. But you can change your perture settings and / or the flash power to increase or decrease the light reaching your subjects. You will see that if you practice first without the pressure of the real session you will be able to do it perfectly. Maybe this is the little push you needed to get into flash photography. Whish you the very best! Don’t forget to write down your parameters during your rehearsal. And please let us know how you did it. GOOD LUCK!
