Camera-310


These are from my collection of old cameras. The one on the left was my mothers. An old boyfriend gave it to her in the early 50s. It is an Argus rangefinder and it's the first 35mm camera I ever used. That was in the late 70s. The one in the back is a Kodak 35mm my dad got while he was in Germany during WW2. I've never tried to use it. The Minolta x-700 in the front was my first major purchase after I had my first real job. That was in 1983. The other Minolta was a spare used camera I purchased to keep b&w film in. Dang! I just realized how old I am. :(

Mmm, I wonder if we still have the camera my Mum used to have- one of those long and thin ones. I've still got all the cameras I've owned, I was thinking a similar idea to you!

You've got a really nice range of cameras and ages there - and it's a lovely photo of them!
