I volunteered for the yearbook staff in high school. The call went out for help for the 1981 edition. I signed on. I was directed to the main office to receive a camera. I don't remember who it was but they asked me if I knew how to use it. I lied, nodding. And promptly took home the camera, removed the lens, opened the back, and pressed all the buttons until I figured it out.
The TLb was an early through-the-lens TTL metering camera. Aside from that, pure manual.
Then proceeded to shoot thousands of black and white and colour photos. Carried it everywhere! Cut my teeth on it. What a hoot. Forgot it was a Canon that I learned on...
