I had a folding Kodak that I used some.
In the service I bought a Minolta rangefinder when I was shipped to Crete. My wife had a Mamaya 500 at the time.
Took a lot of shots with it between the 2 of us. Moved to a Nikon FM 2. That was a great camera. Had a 4X5 view camera for years.
Now I use a Nikon D5600 and my phone.
