Wondering why on earth would anyone want to buy this,i got a little nostalgic as this was my first and the last camera.KB10 gave way to cellphone with camera.Thinking bout the latest 10 Mega pixels,X zoom,red eye effect blah blah i realized that KB10s have their own charm!
I recollected those numerous fights,banter and leg pulling during the photo sessions with friends and relatives.After all seeking answers for the question : where whose and which pics to be taken was a real nightmare! The answer hinged on the number 33 (or sometimes 34) and in the good old days when India wasn't shining as brightly,carrying multiple rolls was a luxury few could afford.
The trip euphoria use to subside once the vacations were over,only to gather steam once we got hold of the pics and negatives.The entire gamut of emotions were on display and the photo viewing occasion use to be as joyous as the trips.The fact that the limited pics could be taken use to make people conscious about their looks and invariably the pics use to come out well and majority of us would feel that they are miss or Mr photogenic:).I suddenly wished that i could press F11 and run the slide show of all those pictures in those sweet little albums!!.
That made me realize that deep down inside us, we all would want to get our KB10s back and set off on some trip..For :
A KB10 picture is worth not just 1000 words,but as much as the
Mittals and Gates of the world!!

lets roll back the time!!!!
I took my grandfather to a photo studio to get some prints from a pen drive.
The entire journey was about futile attempts to make him aware about digital cameras,pen drives,cell phones and their functioning.Finally When i reached the shop i saw this,tucked in cupboard out of sight and a chuckle followed.
