<p>I wonder if the two spacers you make could accommodate two film formats or more. Obviously the spacer would need to fit the winding key for the camera being used in but maybe the other spacer could be made for a different formats winding key since it just would be on the free floating side of the spool. Not sure if this would work, it's been awhile since I poked around with these cameras/formats. I'd be interested also in these as I've tried the other ideas with some hits and misses. </p>

<p>I too like building it one at a time. Having this show up on my porch would be overwhelming. The 35 grand out of the bank would also be overwhelming. </p>

<p>Any idea how old it is? I shot a roll of Super 8 I had from 87, still sealed and in box and sent it to Dwaynes before they ended processing. It looked awful. I also shot a roll of Double 8mm from 87 that was in it's box and little can and it looked great. My point is if this cartridge has been sitting in this camera exposed to air/humidity and so on it's probably done for. If you insist this place will do it for $65 and a three month wait in B&W.</p>

<p>Digital projection doesn't mean the death of film capturing.</p>

<p>They don't mention it here but I recall the reason 110 often looked so lousy is because printing the small negative required specific equipment which your average photo finisher didn't have so what you ended up with were grainy lousy prints. There are some cool high end 110 cameras out there though.</p>

<p>A few years back I built a tiny darkroom in the dustiest room in my house, the basement. It's under the steps and just big enough for the simplest of darkrooms. If you've ever considered it now is the time as the equipment used is either cheap or free in a "Get this stuff out of my garage" kind of way. I only do B&W but maybe in the future I'll try color. <br>

This is a pic of the darkroom during construction before I closed it in. <br>

<p>We should be posting our disgust on his site not here. :)</p>

<p>I need one of those! Every picture looks as if you're just about to come across something horrific.</p>

<p>They actually sold their digital cameras at a loss for a time. Did they really think they would make it up with the printing of digital pictures?</p>

<p>Buy a Bolex D8L, P1, K2 or similar Double 8mm "pocket" camera. The film is still "easy" enough to get and the Bolex has an adjustable shutter so todays higher speed films can be used "100/200 ASA". They are great cameras although you'll spend more than with most other double 8 cameras. Check them out here www.bolexcollector.com </p>

<p>I don't know this camera but I do know that many polaroid cameras required a pretty good cleaning after each pack of film. Some of the goo/chemicals gets on the rollers and can jam or divert a picture on it's way out. </p>

<p>LOL I also have a captiva which has not been used for SOME time. I do recall that the damn thing had to be cleaned pretty well after each pack of film or it would jam. The rollers would be coated with goo after a pack of film and would then jam the next pack if not cleaned. I would highly doubt it would fit and if any "jamming" is required then it certainly won't. :) If it does fit report back. I'd love to run one more roll through that weird assed camera!</p>

<p>What Tom said. Take it apart and look at the mirror it WILL at least need a cleaning as old as this is. All my box cameras are black so consider yourself lucky! :)</p>

<p>I'm quite impressed. My family had one of these cameras stuffed in a tackle box for pics of THE BIG ONE. Needless to say it was never used and now I have it stashed in a box of "lesser" cameras. Your pics make me think I should run a roll through it.</p>

<p>Put it someplace dry for days or even weeks. Maybe even some time in the sun or a hairdryer for awhile.</p>

<p>Wow I had completely forgot about SFW. Flashback for me.</p>

<p>I would guess all things are always in focus with this camera then can be changed later. I remember reading about this "kid" back in 06 when he won a prize for this.</p>

<p>Any chance he's just lost interest for now, or for good? Have you asked him? I used to love fishing but I have not done it in 5 years and so far I don't miss it. Maybe he's just going through a phase.</p>

<p>I used Quality Light Metric a year ago for an old Sekonic L28c I think it is. $80 and it works great. The guy was even kind enough to mention that I could probably buy a light meter new for the same price or less. Despite his "better judgement" I had mine fixed! :)</p>

<p>The Polaroid Color Pack III has one of these on the side. Here's a link to a picture of it. I have one of these cameras and have used this gizmo on it, seems to work. <a href="http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/pics/campics/CPIII-detail.jpg">http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/pics/campics/CPIII-detail.jpg</a></p>

The above link might get you a part number and then Ebay might have them for $15.<br>

<p>Ahh yes the joys of HD. Upgrade the camera and you have to upgrade your computer. My PC won't play HD video either. I agree that it's 99.99% likely that it's not your camera.</p>

<p>The Yashica is a dbl8 movie camera with a three lens turret if I'm not mistaken. Pretty pricey little camera in it's day.</p>

<p>That's look like the only way it can go. I guess try and see?</p>
