Only if you count remembering buying those darn little flash cubes for a little 110 I had as a kid... and lots of Polaroid film also (I asked for a Polaroid camera for Xmas one year....)

I am pretty sure what I had was a ColorPack IV.. one of the early hardbody Polaroids... got it around 69 I think.... had fun with that darn thing! Still have some of the prints...

When you get as old as Gipson, you stop counting after 75.

The 250 is my favorite Polaroid camera, had a great Zeiss rangefinder on it. Shot a lot of 669 and some 665. I used to carry around a tupperware full of hypoclear and a Yankee tank insert to keep the negatives moist until I could get them dry.

Unfortunately, this is the only Polaroid I have that survived. Originally scanned from the negative:

Typical Rockport College/MPW stuff.

OH! And remember those little timers on the back? Did they ever keep accurate time?

"One Thousand seven, one thousand nine, one thousand nine .... crap"

and this is why I prefer Mississippi.

I agree with much of this. Shooting in manual is tough

My first camera was a Yashicamat 124G and Nikon FM, no AE there. A lot of people learned without AE. Basic exposure control and meter function shouldn't be an advanced topic, and I find it amazing how many professionals there are who haven't the slightest idea of what a light meter does.

True. I bought a second hand Minolta Light meter, and it's a good back up for my Pentax's meter.
