Kodak Tourist II, originally uploaded by ken.eaton2.

My wife and I went to a garage sale because we saw in their ad that they were selling Minolta Camera equipment. So we went and it turned out that they were selling this baby with it's manuals, flash, case, lens filters, and all for $2.50! The camera even has 620 Film in it with one more exposure in it but I opened the camera before I realized it had film in it so I problably destroyed the film. It had one more exposure left, too! Oh well.

Kodak's website said this camera sold from 1951 - 1958 for the original list price of $100. That'd be around $800 today, and I got it for two bucks and some change! I love bargains!

This right here is the camera I learned on! Dad saw that we had purchased the old Kodak in my previous pictures and asked me if we'd like to have the old Minolta SLR that my Mom bought him as a wedding present back in the mid 70's. I took a photography class when I was in middle school and this very camera was the one I took with me for that class and now Dad has passed it on to me. It's so cool lookin'!

I found a copy of the user's manual online for this little guy and it looks to me like everything works. Now, if I could only find some film...

Cass and I procured a vintage Kodak Brownie Target Six-20 Camera from the late 1940s - early 50s. Setting the camera next to our current point and shoot really makes you realize just how different things are now 60 years later.
