Subject: old cameras ?

Does anybody have an old camera... or is everybody in the "digital century"? Just recently I have taken some pictures with my grand-grand-fathers old Leicaflex. It was amazing....

So I thought it would be interesting to see what old cameras you might find in your attics or basements...please post a picture of it!

got this one on my 16th birthday in 1963; it made only square-photo's but they were very sharp photo's at that time. Haven't used it in ages, and don't know if there's films for it to buy
It is an Agfa-Isola-2

Your Agfa shoots 120 film. I know in the states it's easy to find.

I'll post a shot of my older Camera that I still use later

 Just last night i was looking into the options with Holgas and 120 film (got excited when i saw the Holga WPC (wide angle pinhole camera - shooting 12x6)) ... the "running costs" were a bit of a put off.  Although developing your own negatives and buying a scanner would reduce that to just film purchase and chemistry... but then there are costs involved in that too... maybe if i sell one of my lenses i never use... 

As for old camera's i have a kodak brownie back home i have never used - maybe i should give it a go before i look at getting a holga.

Processing isn't horrible where I live..for 120 film...I don't use the film cameras all the time..I tend to do a few shots here and there..I have four film camera right now with film in them,

I found  POINT AND SHOOT 35MM  camera in a "rescue mission" store for 99 cents..It shoots in the panoramic format..I bring it with me and take one or two shots at events..it will be fun to look at when it's done..

My girlfriend gave me  this Pocket Kodak  yesterday she found while cleaning out her parents attic.  It was still in the box and appears to be in great condition!  Uses 116 B&W film, which seems pretty rare. One place in Chicago is selling a roll for $38!    Might be worth it  to try it out though.
