My first camera was a $50 buck camera from k-mart. I dont recall what it was but I was 13 yrs old and I begged my great uncle to give me a job so I could buy myself a camera. I made just enough money by the end of the school year I could buy that camera and one roll of film for the end of the year field trip. I think when things got close my uncle paid me a bit more than he should of. He was the principle of my school and on the field trip he gave me an extra roll of film. Then I have had to continue working to support this habit for the last 18 yrs. My first real camera came 3 mnths after I got my job at chrysler it was a pentax pz-70. I was so determined to have a cannon rebel but when I touched the Pentax i said heck no this is what I want. I have been addicted to it ever since. BTW I am thinking about selling some stuff. I have a pz1p that I probably ran 5-10 rolls of film through. I just don't like it as well as my others. and maybe I am gonna sell my bronica and poloraid back I have for it. I knowit's film so most people probably don't want it. but they have to go I need more room.
