Found almost the original digital camera, Casio
640x480, deep in my office lately. Alas do NOT
have the proper connecting cables. Look like
"stereo sound" jacks ... likely some serial
format. As I remember they did NOT have an IR
filter ... asphalt sometimes looked GREEN.
Anyway, old cams ARE attractive. I have a number
of them ... and no, SOME film formats are just
NOT in existence since the 40s. I even found
a "Polaroid Back" for 4X5 ... mostly meant for
the old B&W that produced both a positive AND
negative. Got some very old real Polaroids
too ... that are also optimized for that old
roll film. I have ONE spool of that film left.
Shoot, wait, peel ... and then apply the
acidic 'fixer' to the positive.
