As far as the box, operating it was half the fun for a kid. As far as
the image, it is difficult if not impossible to duplicate the look of
the old materials. As far as the process, I think Edward Weston had it
right... when he was poor and struggling he shot old pawn shop RR lenses
and cameras and contact printed them on improvised frames with a goose
neck desk lamp for a light source...
BTW every time Kodak would change a negative or paper formulation he
would go out and get good and drunk because years of learning the
materials was lost and he had to start from scratch...
