Subject: [Leica] first camera

My first camera was a no name plastic TLR using 120 film I received as a
birthday present probably at age 7 or 8.  Next up was a 126 that I bought
myself at 10 or so.  My first real camera was a Canon FTb in 1969: I bought
it after borrowing a Spotmatic, a Nikkormat FTN, and a Mamiya C22.

Two years later I picked up a chrome MP and a DR, the MP had seen some
serious use, but it was only $150.  After that I bought a used Canon F1 one
year later from my brother.  The two Canons' and the MP largely paid my way
through college.
