Taking photos with that camera could get you killed by a cop these days.:huh:

Gimme a Polaroid!:D

A camera that anybody can use without instructions.

Send for the primer

:hmmm::timeout:

Primer: any book of elementary principles

Hmmm

Just point and shoot Platapus! Or do you prefer this one?

Also from the Spira Collection. Quite a good book for early and out-of comum cameras, as the pistol one.

Consider this: any person born in the last, say, dozen years will have no concept of putting film in a camera, or what a Polaroid is...

[Platapus]

Although I like the convenience of digital, I am glad I cut my teeth with film.

Probably...I still remember the times I've replaced a used roll of film in broad daylight whilst on holiday at a poolside or some attraction.

[Rhodes]

Yes, but when they got old, several may go to film photography and would began to put film in a camera and shoot!
Look at Ferrania kickstarter campaign, in 3 days, they manage to get half of the goal. In the Spring of next year, we will have a few new films to use (both still and cine).

It still makes me kind of sad to pass by the Kodak Film Headquarters here in Hollywood. At one time, it was a 24 hour a day operation; now, it is empty and up for lease as a movie/TV production campus. You mentioned changing film; I remember the old Kodak box camera, known as the Brownie:

Our family had one and used it for many, many years. I still remember using the flash attachment and having to handle white hot flash bulbs as I changed them between shots...


<O>

[Sailor Steve]

And then came the flash cubes, with four bulbs in a tiny rotating box. :sunny:

My Kodak 110 had those.

[vienna]

My Kodak 110 had those.

I seem to recall a model that had not a rotating cube, but a strip of flashes that would go off in order as you took pictures...
