I feel a strong compulsion to start a new thread: "Help me pick: black or chrome lomo"
Come to think of it, if I were to purchase this $50 object just to bring to APUG gatherings, I would definitely need to name it Laika. In honor of the brave little space dog, of course.
And you can bet your...
I understand this point of view. But I am more offended by expensive old cameras in velvet boxes that may as well be worn around the neck on a gold chain.
Thanks Marc! Sure you don't want two?? ;)
I have gotten terrific results from my 5" aerial film.
I'll just point that 70mm backs are rather plentiful on ebay now. The Mamiya one is especially nice, it features a vacuum plate that is activated by a hand bulb.

Well you can feed 135 through almost any MF rollfilm camera, that's easy. I posted a how-to a long time ago and showed some results. You just split a 120 spool in two, clip some plastic away, and put the two ends onto a 135 can.
For the mamiya 6MF and 7/7ii there are adapters you can buy.

I'd like to coordinate a bulk purchase of plus-x in the form of 70mm x 500 ft rolls. This is aerecon material on an estar base. The minimum order is 18 rolls at $720 each, so obviously I'd like to divide this order between several colleagues here on APUG.
It'll get too complicated if we...
I see absolutely nothing beneficial about slamming any film company's products or market. There are plenty of film-associated products that I don't care for...and plenty of gear that is way overpriced for what it delivers. So what. There is no obligation to buy.
