Duh!  Double Duh!

When you make a camera that sells a few 10K units a month, then try a retro
job, tool up a completely new camera, where the entire production run is a
few thousand units of a 50 year old camera, using obsolete (film) media,
what does any rational manager expect?  A promotion?

This whole retro film camera thing is a Harvard MBA study for
kindergarteners.

It's all new tooling that was made for the S3-2000 reproduction. They
took quite a bath on it when the S3 didn't sell as much as they liked.
