Congratulations Andrew.
You have reached that age when the past was a “golden age”.
I had a box camera that only had a “sunny” or “cloudy” setting. And 
true, in my mind. They were always in focus.
Strangely, I only kept it as part of my hoard. I only ever used it once.
And I had a bellows type that had “mountains” for distance and “head and 
shoulders” icons.
