Remember when....


....cameras looked like this?  I found these old-timers sitting on a shelf in an antique store.  I had never heard of the Filmo on the right so I looked it up.  Apparently, it was a line 16mm of cameras and projectors made by Bell & Howell.  I've heard of Bell & Howell!

    I wonder if I will ever go back to shooting with an old film camera again. Maybe if I bought a Rolleicord. That would be fun.

    Always nice to look at the cameras whose pictures we often admire.

    Those are great! I love old cameras, though by the time I was growing up in the '70s they didn't look nearly as interesting.

    I love old cameras Sharon that's why I love going to the camera markets. I've actually managed to take some shots with a 1919 pocket camera, was amazing.

    There was a display of old cameras in the window of a store in Prescott a couple months ago. They were selling old photography books. I took a picture that I will have to try to find.

    We had one of those old box cameras where you held it in front of you and looked down to take the picture when I was a kid. I wish I still had it!

    There's a shop here that has a number of these old cameras still in stock... though you wonder where you get the film.

    I used a Bell and Howell and a Bolex when I was starting out in television news many, many years ago.

    Nope. None of these cameras were around the house when I was growing up. Kodak brownie and Polaroids.

    Photography certainly has taken a quite different turn in recent years.
