Which camera made you fall in love with photography?

Although this was my first camera (below) I think the one that ‘peaked my interest’ in photography (rather than ‘fall in love with’) was my father’s Exakta VXIIa. It had been unloved and forgotten in the deep recesses of a closet, and I found all the chrome knobs etc to be quite fascinating. I soon discovered, however, that the shutter curtains had pinholes and as a result many little white spots were imparted on my photos. Ah well that affair soon ended and I moved on to greener pastures in the guise of a Minolta SRT-101. It was all downhill from there.
