Hearing Kodak was closing the doors on the Camera productions made me take a look at my collection over the years. Flash devices and 35 mm win by far. I even have a few of the familiar yellow and red film boxes. Unopened. Not sure what I was waiting on. ASA's from 100 to 400, pretty standard. Also a stash of empty film containers. Laughing, a few are tin. There is a time line here. It gives me a new meaning to the words KODAK MOMENT.

As a photographer, I appreciate the old cameras and collect them also. Thanks for this post. Made me think it was time to pull out some of my collection including the old "Brownies" and appreciate the history. I really like the old "vest pocket" cameras.
