Nostalgic keeps!

[avarice08]

What piece of kit do you all keep as a bit of nostalgia?

I didn't really start in photography until the digital age and have personally worked through the 400D, 50D, 1D mk2n, 1D mk2, 1Ds, 5D mk2, 1D mk3 and am now sporting a 5D mk3.

But for fun I have held back a very very battered, but fully functional 350D with and old 35-70mm lens that I use more frequently than I would care to admit and still love the results!

What item have you guys still got and use that is no longer cutting edge, but still good fun and get the results when it suits?

I have my first digital camera dating back to 2002/3, Fuji A204! Soooooooooo slow!

My father-in-Laws 1957 Kodak Brownie Flash II. Still working, although I have not put a film through it. Can you still get 620 film?
Lost the flash reflector somewhere too!

Welll... My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic and I still have it. It only has sunny and cloudy settings and a shutter button. I also have a more modern 35mm Jessops branded fixed focus camera. These cameras make a Olympus Trip look like an over complicated piece of space age technology but I like them.

Bang up to date with digital, well not quite up to date... I have a Medion fixed forcus compact. It's a lovely little metal box and there's nothing to do but turn it on, point it and press the button so it takes me nicely back to my first camera.

Cameras like this are not about the gear, ISO or apertures but all about capturing the moment
