Here's my batch: 1959 Nikon F Nikon's first SLR camera, one of the most advanced cameras of its day. Many of the concepts had been introduced elsewhere, it was the first to combine them all into one camera. 1964 Pentax Spotmatic One of the first SLRs on the market to offer a through-the-lens (TTL) exposure metering system 1966 Leica M4 Considered by many as the being the ultimate Leica M camera, quick load, and quick rewind. 1973 Polaroid 8x10, a manually-processed large format film which creates photos of incredible quality. More complex than other instant film formats, still made today. 1975 Kodak Sasson 1st digital camera* 1976 Pentax K1000 Extraordinary longevity makes it a historically significant camera used by students worldwide. 1995 Casio QV-10, the first consumer digital camera with an LCD screen on the back* *I added the two digital cameras because they were important to the near demise of film cameras.
