I bought this little baby on ebay today for very little and now have to build a contraption so that I can take pictures through the viewfinder. At some point I'll either buy some film modified to fit in it or learn to do it myself and take some pictures on REAL LIVE FILM (omg!omg!)!!! Maybe I'll even relearn how to develop it... well the b/w film anyway. Could be a fun hobby.... and fairly cheap if I can learn to do it myself.

Neat!
We have a couple of old cameras like that too. I know that although it is possible to find film for them, it is really really hard. And with digitial cameras getting harder every day. :(

The kind of film that it used to use isn't made anymore but 120 film can be respooled or the edges of the spool it's on can be ground down a little to make it work (or you can pay more to have someone respool it for you).

After I commented I asked E about it (he's the one who knows) and he told me the same thing.

It's a neat little camera.
