I finally got around to replying to this. My first camera was a hand me down Brownie made of Bakelite, it took 127 film and made surprisingly good images for such a simple device, probably the biggish negatives. The first camera I actually owned was an Instamatic 100, (126), next an Instamatic 10, (110), and about the time I was entering Jr. high school my father gave me his Ansco Speedix 4.5 essentially the same as an Isolette I. A medium format folder, scale focusing, which took very nice photos, three shutter speeds and B apertures from 4.5-32. When I was about 16 I used a large portion of the money I saved from my first job to buy a Spotmatic. I have all of them except the Brownie and Spotmatic, I sold the Spotty when I was in graduate school, and the Brownie may still be somewhere in my mother's house.
