Over the years I've saved some of the family's cameras. Alas the Instamatics and Polaroid were binned long ago. The Twin lens Koday which I like to play with as a child has also disappeared - although I have discovered a slide I took with it in 1968 which I'd like to scan as it's my earliest remaining photograph.
Anyway here are some pics I took of the motley collection today which might be of interest.
My dad wrote his name and RAF number in the case of this one. I have a stack of WWII photos I assume were taken with it by and of my dad in North Africa which I should get round to scanning. I put a roll of film through it in the 1980s. It has a light leak.
My aunt and uncle's Retinette. It's still in the leather ever-ready case.
Where these two came from I don't know.
A compact camera of its day! About the size of a Fuxi X100. The lens should twist and pull out but it's jammed/seized now.
