Default My first camera

At 4.45 this afternoon I was trying out my Christmas present - a light tent...

Watch

and took some photos of my first camera... a Zenit-E (c.1975)

Zenit-E(1)

Zenit-E(2)

Zenit-E(3)

Note to self: next time, conceal piece of paper under lens holding camera level!

Very nice shots Andrew. All these things you guys tell me you got for Christmas. I can see the list is never ending. Look forward to seeing more soon. Happy New Year mate, and thanks for everything, especially you PM to me. See you next year. PAUL

Love these Andrew! How cool that you kept your first camera too. I also got a chuckle out of your note to self! Happy New Year! Hope Christmas was a fun one.

Thanks Paul and Nicky, Happy New Year to you both! The cool thing about the camera was that it still had some film in it - dare I get it developed and see what was on it!

Great shots. I wish I still had my first camera, a really-truly Kodak box brownie! There have been some rip-snorters in between then and now as well. TFS
