I've inherited my dad's collection of old box cameras and other early photo gear, and I can tell you that an original camera manual is more rare than the camera! I recognize your modern Canon digital camera too, which happens to be like the one I have. I constantly refer to its digital manual stored on my computer as it is far more complicated than any older film camera. Not that they were easy, what with adjusting f-stops and shutter speeds, but at least they didn't talk back like the modern cameras do!Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-85144279734587316532016-02-07T21:24:12.652+11:002016-02-07T21:24:12.652+11:00The first photo is a delight, and I'm amazed t...The first photo is a delight, and I'm amazed that you still have her camera and manual.Boobookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395043246338753023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-43617053219102387952016-02-07T04:32:13.092+11:002016-02-07T04:32:13.092+11:00My father was the best photographer in the family ...My father was the best photographer in the family but as a child I hated that it always took him so long.
