post 853. kodamatic.


Waaay back in the 80s, Kodak was like, "Hey! We made instant cameras!" and Polaroid was like, "Theeese look awfully familiar."

After Polaroid won the lawsuit, I remember we got to trade in our Kodamatic (we had a Colorburst 250 model) for a Disc Camera...which...well, never went very far either. Oh, Kodak. When did you actually stray from your juggernaut's path?

Found this little gem while antiquing up North; it's got some film in it, and the battery is still an easy find. Can I get it to work? [Crosses fingers.]

For the actual story that fills in my very, verrry broad brush-strokes, go here.
