[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 313101, member: 16749"] My first SLR was a Miranda, that I picked up at a garage sale for $25. Alas, I no longer have it. I traded it for a Kodak DC3200, which was my very first digital camera. My second SLR was a Nikon F2, which I still have. Though I'll probably never use it again, it would be very difficult to convince me to part with it. My third SLR is a Yashica, which I also still have. I bought it as a cheap backup camera, for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. My fourth SLR is my Nikon D3200. I have a collection of lesser cameras, but the four described above are the only SLRs I've owned. No, not quite. I ran one pack of film through it. Here's the D3200 and the F2 together. Built forty years apart. I was only fairly recently able to find a site that, from the serial number, was able to let me know that my F2 was built in late 1972. I bought my D3200 as a refurb in late 2013, so it was probably built in 2012 or earlier 2013; far enough back for someone else to have bought it, returned it, had it go back to Nikon to be refurbished, and then back out to the dealer who sold it to me.
