8 mm Camera – Random Adventures
On a garage sailing expedition, quite similar (and possibly the same as) the one where I obtained my sweet, sweet, Bill Cosby record (see the Nerds’ Blog back log…Back Log? The Blog b-log? Blog blog…weird…anyway, see the previous blog entitled “Records” if the phrase “Bill” and “Cosby” in succession tickles your fancy), I obtained ANOTHER old camera, but this one is an 8 mm video camera, more properly called the Cine Kodak Eight 25 Camera (according to the inside of the device). Yes, that was one sentence. ANOTHER old camera you say? Yeah, see the Nerds’ Blog blog entitled “Sweet Irony” if yet again your fancy is tickled…man you’re ticklish. It’s not really rare and worth about nothing, which is good because I paid exactly “about nothing” for it. I even haggled the price down a couple of Benjamin’s…I’m KIDDING. It cost 8 bucks. I’ll probably never try and get it to work, especially considering I never even ordered film for my Brownie Hawkeye still camera…um…I’ll get around to it. The camera was produced from 1933 to 1946, and this one’s from 1934, so I guess it’s cool that it’s one of the early ones. If nothing else, it’ll look good on a shelf. Does anyone else feel like this has been a fairly non sequitur experience? Because…I do…
