My first camera was a Bakelite Baby Brownie on permanent loan from my
Grandmother sometime before 1964. I'm not sure what happened to it,
though I remember coming across it after she died, and feeling more than
a little saddened. My first real camera was an Ansco Speedex 4.5
folder that my father gave me when he decided to shoot Polaroid instant
photographs. I still have that camera somewhere though it needs a new
bellows and the lubricant used in the focusing mechanism has turned into
glue.. I bought my first Pentax in 1974, a Spotmatic It came with a
SMC 55mm f1.8 with an accessory Super Takumar 150mm f4.0, both "New" old
stock, from a local camera store.. I got quite the deal on them IIRC.
