We have been searching for a camera for Jack's bday, scouring the craigslist ads hoping for a good find. Luckily, we found one Wednesday; an old Minolta that seems to be in great shape. But while searching, John called about another Minolta that had been sold. To his surprise, the owner of the sold camera told him about another camera he had; a 50s Kodak Pony 135. He tried to give it to the other buyer of the Minolta, but they didn't want it. He asked John if he would like to have it & seemed excited that someone would be using it again. It belonged to his uncle. He wouldn't take money for it & we were excited about his generosity. He had the original manual & leather case. It looks a little complicated for an eight year old, but we are looking forward to learning how to use it & seeing what type of pictures it takes.
