Had two Brownie Hawkeye's 49 (at the age of 8) - 58, added argus C-3/C-4 around 54-55. Replaced that lot with Petri ?? in 58, moved on to Pentax Spotmatics in 68. Picked up a Spotmatic F in 74, which I still have and use along with a couple ESII's and more recently three Nikon digitals (990/5000/8400) mostly for field work.
