And it was super expensive to us soldiers. It had to be shipped to Hawaii to be developed and took two weeks. <br /><br />I am not surprised that Kodak is or was near bankruptcy. That is what placidity does to anyone or any company. On top of the world today but the Internet can and does put you sucking hing tit (farmer's expression as that's the tit the runt gets and that's why he is a runt). To get off the rear and onto the front and in the headlines, Kodak has to come up with something bigger than digital cameras. Which, by the way, they made a mess of their first ones.<br /><br />GM did the same thing. We got them out of bankruptcy and looks like they are back in the number one seat again.

It also does negatives but I haven't tried it. <br /><br />I have owned several 35mm SLR and remember well the days of loading film and manual settings with no presets. Photography has come a really long way. So has digital storage, glad to hear you are taking advantage of the cloud. <br /><br />You might now have to give up your low light setting DJan. What washed out the ladies was that white coat. If there is a lot of white in the viewfinder you need to compensate but not with low light. The white is going to reflect light back to the lens.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-43230840853786870622012-01-08T20:26:16.572-08:002012-01-08T20:26:16.572-08:00My grandkids now have their own little digital cam...My grandkids now have their own little digital cameras. they have no idea what film is!<br />And yes, you can have negatives converted to digital photos.

Owned some pretty kook cameras and all of what most of your commenters talked about. I was into all that zoom lens, wide angle, etc, etc, etc. Still have some of this polaroid moments and of course "Kodak Moments. Think where our world of photography started and I say "OUR", and look at where we are now. Remember the olde rolls of film and we got all the pictures on it and had to pay for even the worst ones. Now, we clip, ditch and keep, change backgrounds, add stuff, add people anywhere we want, etc,etc,etc. Sure makes one want to dabble n play - which is what I do. Keep em or ditch em - your choice.<br />Great blog DJan and most interesting.LilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-17431960254032000352012-01-08T10:49:44.720-08:002012-01-08T10:49:44.720-08:00I love cameras even though I am not that good at t...I love cameras even though I am not that good at taking pictures. My first camera was a 35mm Voigtländer given by my father as a gift. He was into German technology as the second camera he gave me was a 35 mm Zeiss Ikon. I still have both of them. My little Olympus Stylus which has nice touches, like taking pictures behind a glass or a document settings, broke a couple of months ago. I sent it for repair and it will cost me $90 to have it fixed. I had not decided to have it repaired and yesterday looked on eBay. The exact same camera was offered, brand new, and I got it for $66, so I am very happy. Last year my husband gave me a little instrument which converts slides and negatives to digital. I think he got it on eBay too, brand new, for around $80. It works well but I have only used it for a couple of pictures – some old ones in NYC for a post.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-50943161936981914002012-01-08T09:31:03.009-08:002012-01-08T09:31:03.009-08:00I have an old Kodak Brownie sitting on the shelf i...I have an old Kodak Brownie sitting on the shelf in my kitchen. lol<br /><br /> I love cameras and am on my second digital.
