Most impressed with the star trails from the 550D Canon .... got one here somewhere but not invested in fast wide Canon lenses but will give it a try one day soon. DSLRs are a trick to aim at single points. Was out with a 1980 Chinon SLR last night but will be weeks before I develop the result.

The ones over the road were chasing a black snake down the road and almost had pups when it turned down my drive, I said "leave it, will be happy in there".

Your yard has that totally wild look like mine. Shelter for all the critters.

This wee baby is as uncomplicated as a camera can get while still having capability to produce the best shots. A nice simple Pentax compatible F/1.9 50mm lens that could shoot stars if the shutter is set to "Bulb" for about 8 seconds (no timer) and mounted on a tripod. Could do some street shots

I am on a whole learning curve going back to film ... never had a good camera in the film days and now have about 20 possibly working models from the 1910s to 1990s, both simple box cameras and more complex Folders, SLRs, Rangefinders and one Twin Lens Reflex. All lovely but have not developed any.

The magic of film shooting, decisions have to be made. More so shooting medium format like my 620/120 cameras. Normally 8 shots to a roll but my Yashi and this twin 20 take smaller square shots and you can get 12-16 frames to a roll of 120. Still $4 per shot though with home developers.

Wrong, again. It takes 127 film ... very tricky and involves splitting a strip off the 120 film. I don't bother.

One of the Starlet range ... Very flash. These used the 620 roll film, hard to find, but it is possible to clip the edges of the 120 film spool so it doesn't jam. Toenail cutters are best.

My bet is like so many companies that begin to show a profit the management team overly reward themselves and kill the company that could have survived for decades.

Happens anywhere greed is let loose.

Beautiful none the less.

Yup ... they made so many.

I went looking for my camera in the series "Fallout" and about 2:13 of the first scene is your Flash 20.

I doubt I will get back on the 110s though the Minolta has teased me often. Thanks for the offer Mary.

I know little of the Kodak Disc format and so expect they would be hard to source developing etc. Interesting curios for the shelf though.
