The first camera I used regularly was my older brother's Universal Meteor 620, a very simple design with a singlet lens which aperatures from f11-32, two shutter settings (B and I ) and an extinction light meter. I used it while I was in high school with rather indifferent results. Nostalgia led me to buy one on eBay last summer for $6! When I earned enough money from my paper route to buy a decent camera I bought a used a Rolleiflex 3.5E which I used for several years until I got the itch for interchangeable lenses. The Rollei was then replaced by my first new camera, a Pentax H3v, and I've been shooting Pentax ever since...
