[Digital BW] Contraptions, was Re: John Sexton's comment on B&W print

2005-08-21 by brigsby707

I tried posting this a little while ago, so if it ends up being
posted twice, my apologies.

I'm not sure about the camera van but I have seen the "minidigi" as
it's called.  I think it's 
only being sold by Rollei's Japanese distributor.  It goes for a mere
$375 (at least that's the 
price I've managed to locate) and gives you a HUGE <g> 2 MP, square
format image, 
oooooh. Anyone interested can see it here,

make sure to check out the promo video about 3/4 of the way down the
page.  Pretty 
adorable.  Makes me wanna get one.

Back to the van, talk about a "motor drive" for his cameras.  LOL.

Eric and Clayton;

I know it is off topic, but I was the one who started out with the
all-in-one-flex comment. I love both of your contraptions . . . oops,
excuse
me, your ultra most recent bestest mostest professionalest cameras,
SO, have
you ever seen the picture of that fellow (I believe he was originally
a
Californian) with his "camera van"?
The entire thing is covered with cameras glued? screwed? all over it
(some
of them actually working, being fired from inside . . . a whole new
meaning
to "drive by shooting") . . . and an obviously good way to get rid of
your
"film" cameras whilst waiting for photoshop to do some really akward
manipulation ;-)

Further Eric, if you are looking for something really cute (and really
outrageously expensive I would imagine), Rollei has produced in
limited
numbers a miniature TLR that has a half-size sensor in it (a la the
majority
of "35" cameras).

all the best
