Ummm.... While many of us have had fun trashing disc cameras or the APS format, wasn't the initial thread titled
Most Useless MF Vintage Camera? Can we perhaps get back to the original topic?
I would like to think that Box Brownies, etc, and other cheap and cheerful cameras launched many of us on that upward path.... Jus' sayin'.....
I for one started with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Camera.
Very nice picture. I have a Argus seventy five that I flipped the lense on.

But it's very much a paleo hipster camera. Which is fine if that's your kind of thing.
I absolutely love this phrase and I think I know exactly what you mean!
Now what are some other paleo hipster cameras? Kodak Duoflex? Hawkeye Brownie? Do Dianas and Lomos count?
Yours truly began this "long, long, trail awinding", with a "baby-brownie", new, with one roll of 127 film for the almost impossibly expensive price (for a kid in those days) of seventy-five cents. Plus, that roll of film, Verichrome (ortho) was the first roll of film that I developed (under a red safe-light in MQ developer, vinegar and Hypo fixer,) 78 years ago. Still believe in and use stop bath.)............Regards!I for one started with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Camera.
so you mean a point and shoot or box camera ?not sure what that has to do with paleo or hipstersI think a paleo hipster camera could be any low-end vintage camera with limited (or no) exposure controls and an overall pattern of cost-cutting in areas like film advance, focus, optics, etc.
This Ansco Speedex Jr is *barely* more sophisticated than a Holga.
i have been shooting them for 30 years..
