I dare you to ask the shop owner 'how many megapixels are they?' just to see the expression on their face .

My camera store's museum

This is the camera store where I buy all my gear as you can see it is not a litle shop. That museum takes up a lot of area on the first floor.

Excellent shots as usual and certainly interesting photos.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Look here for my

My grandfather has some like that, we were thinking of getting some film with them the summer I played around with them, never got around to it. Which is a shame, IMO older cameras you have to work harder to get an image with are always better.

I happened to notice an "old" brownie in a second hand shop, was going to get it till I noticed they wanted $55 for it Granted since they wanted $30 for a pencil sharpener I shouldn't have been surprised.

The fish would look very blury.

I love the ye olde 1800s family photos with the little kids blurred out because they just couldn't sit still that long.

I'd say they would come out very black and white

patrick, why would you say that? I ask because the film is still being made, so you can really put in a roll of color or even slide film and still be ok

Babel - $55 is about the going rate for one of the brownies - in good condition. If its not, I've seen them go for $20 on ebay without a problem also.

I'm actually looking into getting a speed graphic. They look cool
