My Father's first camera

My late Father used this camera for many years. It was is first camera. He even developed his own film and we still have many of the photos. Just wonderful. Camera still works.
Now that's a camera! I wonder what he would think of digital.

Yes it sure is a nice camera. I think he would have liked digital. he was always into new ideas. He would have been 100 years old now :)

Wow, what a camera! That's very cool that it still works.

I used to take all my photos on that camera. Still have an album full of black and white photos. I wondered where it went. I had fogotten about it, so long ago. Loeys' sister

You're right! Isn't that a prize?! My father taught me how to develop B&W film, and we spent many evenings making enlarging and drying photos. I have an apple carton full of childhood pictures he took; it's a treasure! Thanks for sharing some good memories!

I was the youngest, so did not get the chance to get into the developing part of it all.
