My first "real" camera was a Paraktica L with a Domiplan 50/2.8... I  
was 14 when my grandparents gave me this camera as a christmas  
present. I remember it costing 199,00 DM. I was so happy about that  
present that I fainted... :-)
It broke relatively fast and I borrowed a Foca for some time. The  
Foca was a french rangefinder camera:

The Foca is still somewhere at my parent's place, but I have no idea  
where.

I sold my first print for 25 French Francs in 1977. It was made with  
the (repaired) Praktica L. I was 16 then.

All the best from the south of France!
