After I got married the bug bit me hard and I didn't have much money. I bought a used Practica SLR, don't remember the model. Just a basic manual 35mm SLR that took the Pentax universal screw mount lenses. That really got me going. Ended up buying an enlarger and doing B&W. Fell out of the hobby in the 90s when I started diving the local rivers. Finally returned to it last year after getting my daughter's hand be down D3400 and we took a class together and started making photo outing together. As much as I look back on my film days with nostalgia, I'm taking better pictures now with digital, and enjoying the experience more. The old Argus is the rangefinder camera on the far right. The Pentax in the foreground was probably the most used film camera I had. The Rollei in the back was my dad's, and undoubtedly has the most sentimental value to me. I gave it to my niece last year when she got interested in film photography. I felt it would be better for someone in the family to actually use it, rather than gather dust in a drawer at my house. Sorry for the poor picture quality. The only print of this I could find was an overexposed print I never threw away. I have a better print of it somewhere. [ATTACH=full]379802[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
