About this deal

Thank you, Allan, for another heart-warming story of “my first camera”. I think we could make up a book with all the stories. In fact, they might make another article. He bought a simple, cheap hand-held light meter from Dixons to go with it (the Beirette has mechanical shutter speeds of only B, 30th, 60th and 125th, but apertures from f2.9 down to f22), and he got absolutely perfect photos in the bright European light there. In a way cameras have lives too and have seen a lot of things in those lives. Mike might recall how, as part of the Swiss Photos research, I found the details of the early life (in 1935) of one of my cameras written in Swedish inside a box which came with the camera. Mike and others helped with translation from Swedish. I later found a photo of the Crown Prince of Sweden which may have been taken with the camera as the writing inside the box lid mentions that it was at the event where the photo was taken.

But we found the responsive touchscreen terrific, the dual control rings provide a very pleasing user experience, and the 24-72mm has one of the widest aperture settings around, courtesy of its f/1.4 to f/2.8 aperture range. I could really hear your voice in the writing and the shots are also amazing. You really captured the loop… The turret was not made by Leica, but by an American firm called Haber and Fink. There was a later similar 3 lens item, made by Leica for M mount cameras, which was called the OROLF. I have an advertisement from 1949 for the Haber and Fink item. I will forward it to Mike for you. There’s no need for glue or anything else – like an Ikea table, everything’s in the box, and there are a few extra screws for the inevitable moment one disappears through a gap in the floorboards. Be aware, though – this is not a simple Lego set. It’s pretty complicated and will take a long time, and we wouldn’t recommend it as a project for kids younger than mid-teens. As well as being waterproof, the camera can survive drops of 2.1m / 7ft, as well as being crushed by anything up to 100kg / 220lbs (and it's also freezeproof to -10°C / 14°F, should it somehow get left in the fridge or freezer!).I wasn’t expecting to produce pictures for publication — we had a photographic department for that, and there were some pretty strong union rules about journalists taking pictures — but in an emergency, my photographs could be used. At that time, too, I was working with a youthful Don Morley, who often accompanied me on road-test photo shoots and who later went on to much greater things in the world of news and sports photography. But it was Neville Maude who guided me to my first camera.

This camera does a good job of appealing to a wide range of ages, thanks to a fun design touches for youngsters, and practical features for older, more demanding, users – such as a selfie camera and high-resolution stills & video capture. Either way, there are loads of great cameras out there for children, some of which are expressly for younger people, and others that just happen to suit them. If you're after a camera with decent built-in zoom capabilities look no further than the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS with a focal range equivalent to 24 - 960mm. It has a 20.3MP 1/2.3-inch sensor and an LCD screen that can be flipped to face the front making it perfect for selfies. My” first camera was my dad´s Balda Juwella; a rather simple folder using 120 film. I started using it in 1953 or so; very few shots survive today, but i did sell a couple to the local newspaper in the late sixties. Sadly, my late mother donated it to the local Lions Club Flea market, so it sort of flea-jumped out of my world…A great all-round choice is the EOS Rebel SL3/EOS 250Dwhich boasts great autofocus and 4K video. It also features some grown-up specs, namely a 24.2MP sensor and a 3in vari-angle touch screen. Canon sees this as a way to tempt smartphone photographers to step up to their first proper camera. I think our age is showing here; it may be that in a few years. ‘first camera’ will be digital for most readers!
