I'm 56 and just coming out of my prime starting out when that stuff came out
and had two of the special reels and everything and remember how on the
Rollei system 35mm cube camera it had 72 exposures in the counter.
And how that rolled up like a dead skin of a snake and you could never get
it flat no matter what.
