    That Kodak attachment to the Nikon has a crazy history with it. Started at 36,000 doll hairs and Nasa used it. Def a hidden gem in this video.

      I was looking for one of those a while back, but I couldn't figure out if it was really possible to shoot them today. Really cool piece of photographic history nonetheless. There's a video somewhere on CZcams that talks about a Canadian newspaper that was an early adopter of digital and used these cameras.

    12:38 That's a Voigtländer Vitessa. Pretty interesting design, not like any other camera I know. The "erect shutter button" actually winds the film when you press is. It can also be retracted when not in use, but you have to be gentle with it.

    That Kodak/Nikon DCS has a fucking sick history. Essentially, they're the very first consumer digital cameras. The first one is an F3 with pretty much a PC attached to save images, the others are self-contained and based on the N80, N90, and F5

It got some issues but can still function normally, we used that camera for a few years and took some good images with it.
    Even though now we both have better cameras, that Minolta X700 is always special to us

    My film camera collection (in order of age oldest to newest): Pentax Spotmatic (1969/1970), Nikon F (1971), Nikkormat FT2 (1975), Nikon FM (1980), Nikon FG (1984), Olympus OM-10 (mid-1980's). Also up in my attic but non-operating: a very old Brownie box camera in (I think) 620 roll film format, and an old Polaroid (I think model 450) from pre-SX 70 days with the bellows lens. All the 35mm film SLR's very good/excellent condition and good shooters. Two film cameras I wish I still had: Kodak X-15 Instamatic because it was my very first camera, and a Kodak 'disc' camera just because it was such a flop on the market; they both would be a 'shelf sitters' now because 126 and disc film no longer available.

    - 2 small format ILC's (main rangefinder Minolta CLE + SLR Pentax LX for telephotos and shifting)
    - 2x medium format (rangefinder Mamiya 6 for portability + SLR Bronica S2a for portraits)
    - 2x wide aspect ratio (rotating Widelux F6B for the unique 4-point perspective + rangefinder Fujiflm TX1 for a more cinematic style)
    - 1 or 2 exotic outliers (submersible Nikonos V for sh*tstorms + someday also a 4x5** converted Polaroid 900 for those kinky times with my lady)
    ** correction - Nikon S3 with 60-80 years old lens designs should be exotic enough, so I'm tossing the idea of 4x5 (peel apart isn't going to happen anyway, boo hoo)

    Kind of surprised there weren't more Nikon SPs, Minolta V3s (or similar), etc and so many Leicas with how such a large percentage of people cry about being broke or in debt. My film kit anymore is pretty much the Mamiya 645 Pro TL with a few different backs to cover all my needs (120, 35 Pana adapted, and 35mm back). Well, that and a Nikon SP and an Olympus Pen to be cool with a rangefinder and I have fun with half frame (my wallet approves). I have a much larger collection, but they're mostly bodies and lenses I collected in various states of disrepair/dirtiness that I haven't gotten around to rebuilding yet. I wouldn't really put them in the lineup since they're glorified shelf and display case ornaments. In that case they could be a line of anything collected with moderate to little or no value.
    I want a TX1, but I can't bring myself to spend the money when the adapted 35mm pana 645 back is good enough for me. Also, 43mm is best focal length, but it's almost impossible to find that unless you're Pentax. It's hard for me to think or see with wide angle in mind much less ultrawide; 50mm is my goto with 40-43mm being the comfort zone if available.
