Eye of the beholder
I’m 80 next month and while I still tinker and have three digital cameras, I’m a fairly well-established photographic dinosaur. In my student days, I worked Saturdays and summer holidays in a local camera shop, surrounded by the latest cameras, but mainly I took the developing and printing orders as the customers came in with their 127, 120 and 620 film rolls. These were the days when a Pentax SLR was £50 and a Leica, for the elite of Westcliff-on-Sea anyway, was around £100. I remember that a 36-exposure cassette of wonderful Kodachrome film was 36/9d, or £1.84 in today’s money, processing included.
