As the father of a 5 year old and a 2 year old - both boys, I can only quote Dickens in a Tale of Two Cities.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
I love my sons, and they like each other - when they're not trying to knock each other out. Best of all, they represent about 95% of my photographic subjects.

When I got my Mamiya 6 I was surprised to feel how solid it is even though it looks like a plastic camera. That's only plastic covering a very heavy duty metal chassis.
I had heard the system was amazing but I was, and still am, floored by the results it can deliver.

It is very nice with a positive thread, thanks for the excellent initiative!
I was positively surprised by the CV Skopar 35/2,5 II which I bought as an introductory 35mm lens to my TTL. I used it while travelling in Australia for a few weeks and was consistently pleased with the results. Tiny, well built, cool-looking, very inexpensive for an M mount lens. Great image quality of course. The one thing I didn't like was that it was comparably slow at 2.5 so rather than having two 35mm lenses I replaced it by a faster lens. But bang for the buck it is an outstanding lens, imho.
I have also been pleased with Kentmere 400 bulk film. I bought a roll to try out and found it perfectly ok for almost all situations.
The one lens that keeps impressing me is the 50 Summilux Asph. It has simply never failed me and it is by far my favourite lens. True, it is expensive but it is a masterpiece and looks great on film.
Those are things I can think of at the moment.
cheers

Hi,
Leica mini III and a lot of far, far cheaper P&S's. All bought second-hand in charity shops.
And the FourThirds Olympus f/2 50mm macro lens.
