That just makes me laugh! Not the camera, but rather how he is shooting it, like it was some 35mm camera or something. Too funny!

Is that one of those 35mm cameras that you can't get film for???

I seem to remember that our very own Original Ann uses one of these beasties. Incredible little point-and-shoot. Do you think it comes with intelligent auto and programme modes?

Nice and compact. I can see why the US army liked it.

Well, I think they actually had a lack of barbell weights so they decided to use these instead to give their soldiers a good workout

aah, I see the good old advertisements in front of me... it's here! it's the AERO EKTAR! ATLAST, now you can SHOOT and WORK OUT at the SAME TIME

A toss up between Cory's army Graphic and Mijonju's Technika. Love the look of the Green Speed graphic and the cloth shutter, plus the radioactive lens, but the tilt shift control on the Technika was fantastic.

Yes! I've wanted one of those for a long time.

But I'm also envious of the way he's holding it. I'm always impressed when people can hand hold something that heavy. THat's one of the most impressive things about Annie Leibovitz: She can hand hold an RX67!

What camera is that that's attached to the Aero Ektar?

This is how to make the Aero Ektar equipped Speed Graphic look compact.
