Camera? Toy yes, but camera?
I remember working with the one that became the Holga and other photographic artists. One was using a Holga that I had fixed up to shoot with a flash. We were processing the C41 120 film with nonstandard C41 chemistry. Then printed on color paper using a basic Bessler enlarger. We were freaked out as all things produced a perfect condition by which the color printing filter pack was only a 2B UV filter.

"Toy" cameras are vary serious photographic tools, but the digital age does not seem to embrace these instruments.

Thanks for the info, I though it was being shown as a real camera.

I clicked on your link and got a commercial ad for toys, got a link that explaines what a Lego Cameras real is?

Sorry, I did not understand this last part, "It doesn't look like yours performed."

An interesting thing about the sky, I'm told that if you are deep enough in the earth, like in a mine shaft and you look ip the sky appears dark during daylight.

All in all, it will be fascinating, again.

Hasselblad and Zeiss provided the first cameras and lenses and still do.

Fun story, Nikon was as usual full of themselves and their first camera went out for astronauts walk. It jammed immediately. You can find this on the internet, as it was a live transmission. He spins the quad Nikon out into space away from the capsule, gestures towards the capsule and is say, "So much for Japanese junk, hand me the Hasselblad."

I though Jerry was having a little fun, he's like that ya know.

Probably be, then again, the Gov. sent a man into space and none of them though to give him a camera to take a photograph of what the earth looked like from space; that was Glenn's wife who gave him the family point and shoot! LOL!!!

Myself as well, I have no clue as to what this about.

I don't understand you, what's your issue with me? I only responded once, and I don't understand this 'vote' thing either. You know, never mind, your just weird.

Why? Just teasing? Not doing this again with you. Boring!

I am also 75, I have two of them, one is because I have a pace maker. What the second one is used for I have no idea, it stays plugged in and I have not moved it in almost two years. The other one I used to make calls but mostly it is useless to me. I have trouble understand most people on that phone, pretty much a useless toy.

Years ago, I used a welders helmet with the welding glass filter in place as recommended by the UT Science Department of UTSA. It worked great, the VP and Dean of Fine Arts used the same to view the eclipse (I was off do images of the eclipse images that day, but the administrative assistant for our Dean, she said they had a small party on the roof garden of the John Peace Library, said it was a blast!

By the way, Monday on I-35 as I was return home there was a notice on the electronic sigh announcing the Monday April 8 eclipse to the public.

Loads, all on film material. This is a 5X7 inch negative, using the 240mm Heliar lens, on a 5X7 German built view camera, that was the lens, that Brassai used to shoot The Night Life of Paris, a very large fast lens at the time, here it is stopped down to f16, known for its speed and clarity when stopped down. I love old equipment!

I would agree with this statement, I have discovered the same in my life.
