And they also asked readers. There were 405 comments at last count.

My first --- that I could remember! --- was a Fujica Half, circa 1970.



I *may have* used the family Brownie Reflex, but that's lost in my memory bank.



I'll spare you the camera history, just to say that my best photos until recently were probably the ones taken with one of many 2 1/4 square cameras in Vermont at foliage time. I settled on the Swedish one.

I used a Coolpix P510 for about a decade and it accounts for most of my photos. 24-1000mm got the job done.
Lately, I have gone quite crazy with the Nikon Z5.

So, what was your first camera?
Your favorite?

(not to interfere with the contest, of course)
