"aim, point & shoot"....... by quietpurplehaze

"aim, point & shoot".......

.....was the advertising blurb for this
Soho Myna S.K.12, produced in the 1920s.

A certain phrase comes to mind: 'Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose.'

We saw this camera in Avebury Manor. Not a ghost in the background but the guide who told me that snippet of information.

What a fantastic camera. I have friend who collects cameras and I am sure he will have one of these in his vast collection.
You should have stuck with the ghost in the distance and asked if anyone can see her. ha ha.

The old cameras look really interesting. I bet it was hard to get a really god shot with one of these.
