Quick! Kodak Land Camera

[Rob MacKillop]

This just appeared in my local charity shop, a Kodak Land Camera, original box. Both look in excellent condition, no rips in the bellows.

The asking price is £74.

One question: should I snap it up?

Actually, another question: is film available for these monsters?



Sorry about the quick phone snaps...

 

[Brian Moore]

No film available, Rob. And also that is not the most desirable model for conversion. 74 quid is way out of line! Do not buy!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, Brian! Saved me some money. I'll buy you a pint next time you are in Edinburgh! (something tells me you'll be on the next flight!)

 

[Brian Moore]

(something tells me you'll be on the next flight!)

Booked!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

er...I might not be in...

 

[Pete Askew]

It even comes with film and flash bulbs! Pricey though.

 

[Pete Askew]

I might be in Edinburgh in June, I can collect that pint on your behalf @Brian Moore if you like!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's great news. Hope we can meet up. I'll teach you how to do out of focus shots

 

[Pete Askew]

Looking forward to it! I'll know later this month if / when.

I think it's great that members of the forum can offer advice as helpful as this.

Stay in you tight so and so and greet Brian properly with that quaint and heart warming Edinburgh welcome,


" You'll have had your tea then?"

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

If he goes out of focus, they might not meet you know.

That's great news. Hope we can meet up. I'll teach you how to do out of focus shots

granny sucking eggs comes to mind

Thanks, Pete. It's good to have friends. But I am not so sure that tight bugger is going to pay up.

Ah'm fae Dundee, no Glesga!

 

[Brian Moore]

Ah'm fae Dundee, no Glesga!

Precisely!

Do I sence a war coming on, between the one sometimes out of focus and the one from over the dam, totally out of his debts

Who's who, Ivar?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Who's who, Ivar?

What's considered to be the dam Brian? The dam outside me towards the Scottish border is just a puddle.
