  The film cutter was good for photojournalists. After shooting a few frames, they could cut and develop instead of having to use up the full roll.

  Particularly impressed with your pyjamas for the full homage

  Honestly, I would have expected 34 minutes to be way too long, but by about 25 minutes in, I wished there was an hour left. Beautiful video.

  After five cameras, four lenses and two adaptors, I was really wondering if this was going to end up with, &quot;...unfortunately I had to fracture my leg a second time because the first fracture was in slightly the wrong place, but my luck turned when I found a really good Raymond Burr impersonator on the first try.&quot;

  In the US, by 1970 it was common practice to place a piece of black &quot;darkroom tape&quot; (an opaque masking tape with a clean-remove adhesive) over the name of a 35mm camera, so thieves would not be attracted to the expensive name brand.<br> It looked quite similar to leatherette and was easy to apply.

  btw, you can have the front lenses polished and re-coated at at small optics workshop in Görlitz/Germany (Optik Labor Dr. Prenzel).

  This video is a masterpiece of nerdy perfectionism. Well done, sir!

  I recall that there was a store in NYC in the 50&apos;s, 60&apos;s and 70&apos;s that exclusively sold Exakta&apos;s and Exakta accessories called &quot;Seymour&apos;s Exakta.&quot;
