The first camera I ever bought for myself was a Praktica MTL 3 35mm SLR.
Fully "Manumatic"....

I bought it during my first trip to sea as cadet when I was 16 years old.
It replaced my Kodak Instamatic.

I kept it and used it for almost 25 years.. Think I still have it somewhere...

If I remember correctly they were made in the old East Germany (DDR).

Mine was the familiar Brownie 127, then an Instamatic (Wow!!) When I was a "young lad" in the RAF I was posted to RAF Gan in The Maldives, (long before the age of the holiday-maker) and thought I'd better invest in a decent camera. I bought a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s ... Cracking little camera ...

then later, serving in Berlin I bought my first SLR, a Practika LLC, which was then "state of the art" from its East German manufacturer ....

Then later in life, it was the Canon or Nikon decision to be made. I chose Canon, and have had a fair few since! :thumb:
Great post by the way - good to see all the old cameras.They were all so simple. I wonder what they'll be making of our current "state of the art cameras" in 50 years time?? My latest one has a manual that runs to over 400 pages!! :Sad:
