My oldest daughter, Kaylin, is taking a photography class during her second semester, this year.

I thought I'd show her what I used in the "Old Days".

I carried this setup in the mid 90's. 

For some reason I always liked the simplicity of the Spotmatic.  Over the years I picked up 4.  I used this one because of the built in hot shoe.

The bag is more recent, but when it's filled, it weighs in at over 15 pounds.

Now-a-days, my setup only weighs around 3 pounds.  (Batteries included.)

By back is much happier for it too...
