Somewhere I have an Exacta SLR that a great uncle bought in the late 40's. Made in Germany, with "USSR occupied" stamped in white paint underneath. I'll have to find it and post pics.

My late father-in-law had one of those. As I recall it was originally built with a top viewfinder, but he purchased a penta prism option. He took hundreds of photos and slides with that camera. BTW it had a great lens.

Oh man, the Ford GT, the flippy-back "refuse" truck, the cattle truck, the Greyhound bus. The Claas combine! The Land Rover with the little pack on top. Steve, you're making me truly "nostalgic" (which literally means "aching" for the past).

Here's the only 35mm camera I use at this point, although I own others. This is a late DS Leica M3 with goggled Summaron. Working meter MR on top. The previous owner replaced the damaged covering with this red goatskin. Nice, I suppose, but when it finally needs a CLA I'll recover it in black.

Yeah! Thanks for sharing them, Steve. I have many of those. I'll have to do some similar shoots. Stay tuned.

Pulled this off the shelf this morning. Kodak Bullseye box camera.
Kodak bought the BULLSEYE CAMERA COMPANY, because they invented the red film number window and shot number on the paper backing on the film, and Kodak started using the technology with this camera
Before the red window and frame numbers on the back of the film, you just wound the spool X number of times to advance the film.
As the spool loaded up, the photos got farther and farther apart on the film, or you had overlapping photos.

Anybody remember the little Pentax Auto 110 cameras? They were the smallest SLR with removable lenses available. I had a small collection of them once, but have since sold off all but the rarest Auto 110 Super. It's safely hidden from myself in a box somewhere, but at least have a photo of it.

^^^^ Yeah, back when 110 was gonna be the future. The Pentax had its own mount, IIRC, obviously smaller than the K mount.
And then didn't Minolta (or was it Canon) have a 110 SLR with a built-in zoom? More of a horizontal form factor, like the point & shoot 110s.
Of course, 110 was DOA when disc film came out. Now THAT was the future.......

Pentax had multiple lenses for their 110's, including a zoom or two?
Still have an APS camera semi new in the box somewhere.

A friend of mine had an Exakta back in the '70s - it had some unusual features, like a built-in sliding blade you used to cut film inside the camera.

The Canon looks like it's being protective.... Reminds me of a parking lot photo that became a sort of meme. Something like a Ford 3/4-ton pickup and a Chevy 1/2-ton, and in the parking space in between, one of those old VW Rabbit pickups. All from behind. The caption was something about how the adults gather 'round the younger smaller members of the herd to protect them.
I've been wanting to stage a photo - start with my D750, put one of those brackets with a tripod screw on the flash shoe, and mount my D7100 on it. Then do the same with my D5300. Then my Coolpix 500 "bridge" camera. Then my little pocket S7000. I'd probably have a hidden prop behind the whole stack just in case. It'd be like a pre-stuff turducken.
But then what would I shoot it with?.....
That's the one. I'd forgotten that it has a standard shutter button with the cable release threads, and even a standard flash shoe.
