if you are willing or able, you can borrow the mobile phone of your wife, gf, child or parents for these few minutes and quickly take a photo Wink

that's how it was in my case too, and certainly with the other two bros as well Grin

I've heard that some people possess a new kind of device where they have separated the picture taking functionality from the phone into its own module. My sources say that this may be called a "camera"

Sadly this new tech only exists in laboratories. As it always happens it'll be years before it reaches the commercial market.

(disclosure: I own and often use an AE-1, somehow I can still do better with that than anything digital)

My first SLR camera, uh no... in fact my dad's cam but the first he let me use back in the days.
I remember that 200mm tamron push-pull zoom was fascinating to shoot with.
He kept it, for his collection, along with some old rollei and agfa "compact" cameras (with these bellow/hatch lenses).

Strangely, when he got his first 3MP DSLR, he ended up looking for software to emulate the old analog "look", while scanning hundreds of slides to convert into jpg.
He should maybe better been staying in the analog domain, imho.
