konica recorder (AA-35), 1984
I am cursed to like weird, old cameras, but to also not like 35mm film.
I miss my Olympus XA: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/shopping...
I had a Kodak disc camera in the early '80s, it was a really cool design with extremely small negative sizes. In retrospect, an obvious play to create a new proprietary film format, but also fun and useful in its way.
@MackReed the XA is very nice.
It seems that my family gave away/threw away my dad's Adox 300, which was a truly weird 35 mm camera: https://camera-wiki.org/wiki... - and I has a sad.

@scruss changeable magazines is SLICK
I have a small Canon digital, waterproof camera, I bought in 2012 or 13. I took underwater selfies, blowing bubbles in greenish light up on Causey, Reservoir, above the Ogden Valley.
@MackReed the XA and XA-2 were such lovely cameras. when i was looking for something small to add to the 35mm lineup a few years ago, a lot of people recommended it to me. sadly the demand has kept the prices up every time i've looked for one, but one of these days i would like to try one.
@scruss ooof, that is so sad! so it goes!
@wjcstp oh, those things were wild! i remember running into some of the disc film "wheels" in some family member's archive years ago; i wonder if they still have it somewhere.

@nikkuneko Be it noted that the XA has a penchant for vignetting in wide angle mode (28mm) Which might be seen as a plus or a minus, depending on your aesthetics.
@MackReed so slick that, when Adox went bankrupt the first time, Leitz bought the tooling and used the cartridges in their microscope cameras. This led to a false rumour that Adox cameras were really made by Leica
that is a helluva camera
(still angry with myself for getting rid of my Yashica T5 tho)
