No, wait, that was grandpa's. My first camera took 8 rectangular pictures on a roll and folded up to fit in my back pocket. Yes, that sounds correct. My mother had one just like it that she got as a high school graduation present in 1935 or so, but she would not let me touch it. Mine was given to me by a lady up the street whose lawn I mowed for a buck after school from about the 4th or 5th grade. It was certainly older than I was by 8-10 years. But it was a real camera with 3 or 4 f-stops and 3 shutter speeds. Not like those plastic ones the other kids had that only had one f-stop and one shutter speed. It was made by a now little known company called Kodak. Took 620 Varichrome film, no not not Varichrome Pan, Varichrome! -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Jens Bladt wrote: > Foregive me if you had this thread before. > I believe it's kinda fun to look back, especially if it involves pictures: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/269112157/ > My first camera was a Agfa Clack.
