Old School


This is when a camera looked like a camera. Big hunks of metal clad in a thin layer of leatherette trim. You could strike a match on one of the babies, pound nails or use it as a bowling ball on your days off. It came in two colors, chrome trim or for a few bucks extra you could get overall basic black. Everyone wanted the black model because that meant you were a pro. Yeah those were the good old days.

This was my first camera when I started at the Record (And I was temped to pound in a few nails with it)

Old Nikon film cameras couldn't be beat (so to speak).
