Selling a film camera on Craigslist...


That's one possibility.

In the past, 120 (and 127 etc, paper backed film that came on a spool) was called "roll film" to distinguish it from both sheet film and 35mm.

But everyone I know who shoots or shot 35mm does refer to them as rolls as well, and always did.

Still, APS, 126, 110 all come to mind as film that came in cartridges that a not-so-technical user might not realize were "rolls."

I love pie, I have a pie hole. I don't care for cake, you have a cake hole.
 

Would rather have been 18 in '69 ... Oh the girls!!! Lol

I think cake hole is more aggressive and angry/nasty and pie hole is more slapstick and lighter and was used more in early comedies.

That's how I feel when I hear it.

I was into Estes model rockets. I'm glad I wasn't older then--that crowd was into protesting and carrying on, and getting into political movements, and being just generally weird. Glad I was too young for that. Glad I was also too young to go off to Viet Nam and getting shot at. Guess I was lucky. Back then the Apollo missions and my Instamatic 104 were all I cared about.
 

I was only 6 in 1969 but remember it well. And I was into Estes rockets as well. And Century ones too. Re-ignited the interest with my son a few years ago. Estes is still around. We even found and built my favorite model from when I was a kid: Der Red Max!
 

Yea you totally wouldn't have enjoyed those political movements, not you... Hehe

I did have Estes rockets as a kid too. Good times.
 
My first one was a Big Bertha. The parachute never came out. The tube was too big and long for the charge to blow off the nose cone and spit the 'chute out. It always came back down and stuck front first into the ground. Still remember the recommended engines for that model--B4-2, B6-4, and C6-5.
Still have my Honest John, Aerobee 300, Alpha, and Arcas rockets to this day.

Is the subject still girls?


BTW, in '69, it was the miniskirts.*








*…and here I promised myself I'd having nothing to do with this thread.
 
It was the great looking long legged girls in mini skirts.
 
I was 13 in 1969, and all the girls were taller than me.

By three years later, they must have shrunk

You obviously have very discriminatory tastes. I remember snapping to attention and saluting at the slightest opportunity in those days, at that age. (...or was that a recent episode of Mad Men? :confused
