I bought a small plastic box camera at Cash Erler's Cameras in 1958
for $2. It used 610 film. I was ten years old. I still have some BW
prints from that camera around here somewhere. I think I posted one a
couple of years ago. My parents bought me a Kodak something or other
(Starmatic maybe?) that took 127 film a couple of years later. I
developed a few rolls of BW myself and made small contact prints. I
have scans of a couple of those as well.

My first camera was a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 130, still have it. In
between that and the EM I had a Ricoh 35S fixed-focus 35mm P&S.
Neither were terribly good, both were lots of fun.
The Fuji that I have is surprisingly good. It has a full range of
aperture and shutter controls, a very decent rangefinder with
focusing and a really very good 4.5cm f/2.8 lens. I used it for the
first couple of years after I took up photography. My dad bouth a
Spotmatic II in around 1972 or so, and I started sneaking it out of
his case and using it after he'd had it for 6 months or so.
After a while he just told me that he wanted it for his summer
vacations and that I could use it the rest of the time.
