Does 68 count as old-timer?

First camera, Argus c3 around 1950

First Leica: CL in 1979. My bad eyes just couldn't use the rangefinder.

Old Exacta w/ 85mm Steinheil for awhile. Good for faces.

Now waiting  with bated breath for Gerry Smith to fix my late 
father-in-law's IIIf so I can try film again.

Digital is Soooooooo easy.
