Back when I was a wee one, my Granny showed me a very old (1930s-era) Kodak “Brownie” camera. This camera was about as simple as it got–a rangefinding camera that was hardly more complicated than those pinhole cameras you make for physics class in Middle School. At the time, the hot new tech in the camera world was the Polaroid SX-70, a folding, SLR, “instant” picture camera that, honestly, still looks pretty cool today, if you ask me. (You didn’t, but I told you anyway.) When I graduated from college, my Dad bought me a really nice 35mm SLR camera that I had for years and years; it’s probably in our attic right now, in fact.
We’ve come a long way, baby:
