Makes me feel old, started with a Ross Ensign TLR (126 film I think) which produced vague muddy contact prints which would never have taken an enlargement even if I knew about such things. Forgot about photography until my mid teens when I had a KodakColorsnap which had a fixed shutter speed with distance guessed and set by a scale and exposure set by weather symbals. Shot mostly slides with it and they mostly came out too! Move on a few years and I bought a Praktica SLR with 50mm and 135 lenses. Then once I was married and the first child arrived to photograph started down the Canon FD trail then EOS and finally Canon digital.
