Dad's hand-me-down Zenit-EM aged about 7 or 8, when he upgraded to possibly a Zenit-11, possibly a TTL (I think it was a TTL). It broke about 12 years back when I was mid-teens.

300D 2 years back, 26th birthday present to myself.

Praktica MTL 3 (external link) when I was about 15. My dad taught me how to use it but after a year it started chewing up film when winding back after finishing a roll so I gave up with it.

300D at 18 was my first digital.
