Subject: [PhotoForum] Re: Your first camera

You guys all started with wonderful cameras... Mine was a Kodak instamatic (126 film cartridge) from there I graduated to an Olympus  35 RC which had aperture and speed control.... and  then later, at college,  anything under 6x9cm was regarded as a toy. My career began with a twin lens Mamiya which served me well for many years... I remember my first SLR... it was a canon. But I switched to Nikon once I started using it for work and have been very happy with Nikon ever since. My first View camera was a Linhof but I switched to Sinar early on. In the 90s I became a hasselblad owner... (Who wasn't?) and probably shot millions of frames on that system. Now I only have Nikon digital SLRs and enough lenses to supply AP.

My first camera was a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta (2-1/4 square), that originally belonged to my grandfather. I was allowed to use it for a band trip to Europe, in 1973. Had to have "crash" tutoring on shutter speeds, f-stops and the "rule" of ISO/ASA & f-11; figured out the range finder on my own. I took a bunch of pictures, with about a 50% satisfaction rate; not saying there were that many great photos (probably only one or two of those), just the ones I was satisfied with as a newbie. When I later left home, that camera came with me. I still have it and have kept it operational.
