My First Camera – Kodak Brownie Fiesta

This is my first camera bought in 1967 for a princely sum of $80 ringgit. It took me a year and a half to save in additional to the angpow monies for this camera. I have travelled and abused it for about 2 years before I was introduced to reflex and non reflex cameras. After the introduction to better cameras, this poor Brownie camera went into involuntary retirement.
