He will need a bit of practice with that one.
We used to get lots of blurred photos with the camera my dad has, I think it could be down to operator error

Ok you've got me started on one of my 'other' collections.
this is by no means all of my cameras just most of my interesting cameras and ones I used to use.
Two cameras that are missing from this lot that should be in there are my Minox B and my Cannon EOS A2
First pic is an overall shot of them with my cat who wnted to pose for the photo.
this is a Kodak Realist Stereo Camera for taking 3D photos I also have a Russian Soutnik 3D camera for 120 film which is on the far right on the first photo
Behind the Contax is a Russian Horizon Camera which has a swing lense (The lense slot on the front of the lense swings right to left and advances film at the same time so you get a field of view of about 170 degrees
ANd here is my collection of little cameras. There should be a second Minox here but I've miss placed it.
The Zippo lighter has a working 8mm camera inside it as well as being a working lighter.
The chunky 'fob' watch is a 'spy' camera from 1906

Which Kodak I had about 3 in that photo.
I don't really collect Kodaks I just aquire them, most of my Kodaks I didnt put in the pictures.
Kodak generally made cameras for the masses, cheap and easy to use, (with a few exceptions) and made most of thier models by the tens of thousands if not millions so most Kodaks aren't worth that much, there are a few rare ones but generally Kodaks are cheap to buy except from antique shops who think any old camera is worth a fortune.
