I’m curious to find out about other people’s stories behind their #FirstCamera.

There’s no better time than the festive season to do a bit of reminiscing.

[#]Fediverse, don’t be shy! What was your first camera?

Toot

@RaffKarva

First camera: Praktica SLR (spiegelreflexcamera), bought 2nd hand, about 1985. Forgot the type number.

A few sensors, everything manual: shutter time, diafragma, focus distance.

Bought for a 3 month trip to Japan, 1987, took about 800 pics, mostly dia positives. Lots of good memories, except for doing the manual settings all the time.

Times have changed :)
