I was lucky I guess, I was born one year before 2000, so I was kind of already intune with the present day tec. But yeah, we have come a long way.....

This is a camera from the 1940s similar to the one my father used. My nephew is in possession of it now.

Now that is super cool! Did you look down into the lens on that one?

 

[Fishmanic]

yes you could look down from the top to compose the picture.
there are many for sale on ebay...they sell for several hundred dollars.

We have many black and white printed photos that were taken by my father with the rolliflex and the speed graphic cameras back in the 1940s and early 50s. Those photos don't fade even after all these years.

He then started taking color slides pictures with his Praktiflex 35 mm camera . We recently had 900 of the slides scanned and digitalized so we can view the photos of our family back in the 50s through 70s on a tv or smart phone.

I think we’re hijacking Pheonixking’s thread on his photography. Any other pics you want to show us?

 

[PheonixKingZ]

No, no, not at all! I will post some more pictures later, but we can keep talking about thoses cool cameras!

Nice dog. Has a lot of lab it looks like.

That’s what I think, he is a mutt, but he does look a lot like a lab!!
