[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 17994, member: 4398"] Sounds like a lot of memories being brought back for people on here, nice to know that many of us have been addicts for a long time. My instamatic took 126 roll file, the twin lens took 110 roll film, don't think I ever knew the make of it. I think my dad got me interested he had the twin lens and the instamatic before I did, I remember with fondness an airshow we attended where the red arrows were due to display near the end, my dad and his mate both wanted to get a shot of part of the display where two planes cross each other. His mate had an ME super with a borrowed motorised drive on the bottom, both happily shot at the display and we went home happy, I think I was about 6 or 7, when they got their prints back dad had taken one shot during the crossover run and managed to get both aircraft crossing, a bit blurred due to the movement but he had 'that' moment, his mate had blown a full 36 shot roll and missed it, he had one just before and one just after, don't think he ever stopped feeling hard done by for that shot. LOL. Don't know why I remembered that but thinking of the cameras I have used brings that to mind. I hope that thinking back to what started you onto the long, hard, frustrating, rocky, expensive and eventually rewarding road in photography has brough smiles to your faces, thanks for sharing :) [/QUOTE]
