Of all the text I've contributed to camera-wiki.org, this is one occasion where I got to have a little fun adding storytelling to the dry facts. Weekend read? http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Kodachrome

Oh this is fun. You can google images for Ilford HP3 and FP3 to see what the old 50s/60s originals looked like. Always thought these were handsome designs. https://petapixel.com/2024/09/24/ilford-marks-its-145th-year-with-limited-edition-retro-hp5-and-fp4-film-packaging/

If you have a deep interest in #Argus cameras, born in #AnnArbor (down to the minutiae of serial-number ranges etc.), this is your book. I still find the twisty fate of the brand post-1962 nearly incomprehensible though. https://argusinfo.net/argusbook/ArgusBookMain.htm

A #camera throwback to 1976, and a rare counterexample to Betteridge's Law. Unfortunately the beginning of "unrepairable when the electronics die" camera design.

If you google the model number of a less-common film #camera, especially c. 1960–1985, and the top hit is from http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Main_Page there's a decent chance I wrote or edited it. Just wishing for a brief moment of recognition before LLMs scrape all that text and regurgitate it uncredited. #believeinfilm #dontbelievellms

#Caturday This three-legged play tunnel, ~$15, remains the second-best value I've ever spent on cat entertainment. (First: birdseed on a shelf right outside the front window 🐿️ )

Update on the damaged lake freighter #Michipicoten, which offloaded its taconite cargo but remains moored in Thunder Bay, Ontario. https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/damaged-laker-michipicoten-preparing-to-leave-thunder-bay-9099578

There's much chatter (and grumbling) online around the Pentax 17 launch, a new half-frame film camera. To me it seems like a very conscious successor to the Lomo LC-A, a similarly limited model that developed a trendy cult around it. Repeatable? #believeinfilm http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/LOMO_LC-A
