    At 10, I was the lucky recipient of a build-it-yourself ANSCO 120 box camera kit when an aunt closed out her jewelry store. I managed to get it together and it even took great pix. I still have it, but film would be an issue.

    These were my father's, but I have, in fact, run 120 through them both, so they are the oldest in a small collection of newer ones. Sorry about the focus.

    Ah the box brownie, I would say that every second house in Australia had one of those in the 50's and early 60's. I don't have my dad' old one but have albums of photos taken with it, Those were the days

    These would knock the socks off most digital cameras.

    I have a Kodak DC25, the second consumer Kodak digital camera, somewhere in a box. Paid over 300 for it back in 98, and it can't even touch the phone in my camera for power. It is something like 0.2 MP, not that MP were a thought back then, and you used a viewfinder, not a live view screen. They were still new features back then.
