My dream camera - Nikon F from 1959
The Nikon F camera, introduced in April 1959 and was Nikon's first DSLR camera. It was one of the most advanced cameras of its day.
Although many of the concepts had already been introduced elsewhere, it was revolutionary in that it was the first to combine them all in one camera. It was produced until October 1973 and was replaced by the quite similar Nikon F2 (my first camera)
Nikon F - is the camera that I'm on a hunt for right now. So beautiful design and with a F, perfect when my name is Fia-Lotta. I hope I find one this year so I can have it in my project as well.

Kodak Instamatic 177x
The Kodak Instamatic 177x one of a huge family of 126 film Instamatic produced from 1976-1984. It is a mid-ranged camera that used magicube type flashbulbs. Made in England and I got it for 1€
The problem now is that I must find the old 126 films (which is not produced anymore) or an old film cassette 126 so I can load my own film. It's boring if everything would be easy.

Photography books with Irving Penn and Anton Corbjin
The best thing when you are not feeling so well is lying in bed and go through your old photo books and get new inspiration.
Irving Penn and Anton Corbjin is some of my favorit.

Olympus TRIP 35 - 1968 and music with Jimmy Cliff
Olympus TRIP 35 is a full-sized compact EE camera based on the Pen EES. It first went on sale in 1968. The name reflects its suitability as a convenient camera to take on trips.
The TRIP 35 became very popular as a camera that combined ease of use, reliability and a low price with superb photographic performance. It remained a best-seller for many years, and over the next 20 years over 10 million were produced.
This camera I got from my mum last year. will try also this camera for my project 2016.

Iso - Rapid IF 1965
Agfa ISO-RAPID IF was an all-mechanic viewfinder camera for Agfa Rapid film system. It has a fix-focus lens in a Parator shutter with release lever.
Made in Germany by Agfa 1965.
Two settings are selectable: sunlight and flash. On top of the brick-like camera body are an exposure counter and a hot shoe for an electronic flash. A thumb-wheel in the camera back serves for cocking the shutter and advancing the 35mm film.
Its similar to the Iso-Rapid I, but with an added AG-1 flashbulb holder. The f8 lens has three apertures, set into a two-speed Parator shutter.
I will test this cute camera also in my portrait project.

Pentax ME Super 1979
Pentax ME Super was a highly successful 35 mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Pentax of Japan between 1979 and 1984.
It´s semi-automatic camera. ME Super added a manual mode to the feature set of the ME.
The ME Super has an electronic focal plane shutter with metal curtains and a vertical movement. Shutter speeds are selected with up and down buttons rather than the conventional wheel. They run from 4 seconds to 1/2000
It's my dad's old camera and it's fun to try it in my project in his honor and it still smells the cigarettes. Crazy what a scent can give you memories.
