Peter, Peter, Peter,
Horizontal, horizontal, horizontal! The film only advances about 28/30 mm
with each stroke of the crank. Confirmed on page 18-409 of Prochnow.
Referred to as K8K (T24) Special production, 250 cameras made. PR 184/1
Direct order, No price listed. Serial #s 156000 to 156249.
But still no 220 capability. But if it were, just think, 48 exposures per roll!
