Re: Instamatic Camera
In Response To: Re: Instamatic Camera ()

And even with the film, they don't make the K battery anymore which powers the better versions of that old 124 camera. No I don't think you can find much except 120, 220, and 35mm film. 620 is the same film, but different spool. (and I could be missing something?) I had film left when I bought my first good camera a Canon DSLR 10-D, I think that film is still somewhere. I never thought the transition would be that rapid.

ps I have flash cubes? LOL Also some 25B (focal plane) that I used in the 60s and those little mini bulbs that I hardly used, but they did fit the "modern" cameras. 5B or some number like that. (B is blue bulbs) and somewhere in a box the small flash bulbs. We live in interesting times where electronics and computers make rapid changes.

I'll mention for anyone also interested in old photography, like we are with old casino history, the subject is in our times and so is the obsolescence. Lantern slides, tintypes, paper photos. It's all great history and fun. Sad to see the home darkroom gone, the smell and the experience and at the same time, happy to be using Photoshop.

I collect these, home entertainment and educational... pre-radio! Stereoviews, you need the viewer.

Sometimes make them into anaglyph like this

Get out the Red/Blue glasses. grin

Film is dead - long live the film.
