The first camera I ever owned
I was given this as a Christmas gift when I was 12 years old. Loved the thing. It took the old, now deleted 126 size film cartridge. I still have photos I took with this camera way back when, I must try to dig them out. There used to be nothing more thrilling than taking my films to Gem Photo in Parkway Mall and getting the pics developed. I used to eagerly rip open the yellow envelope and tear through the photos, eager to see how they turned out.
I recall that the "flip flash" that this camera took was very expensive, even by 1984 standards (about 8 dollars). Quite a price for a 12 year old to pay for something that would eventually end up in the garbage!
