Here is possibly the best link: http://www.collection-appareils.fr/gaf/html/gaf220.php.<br />IIRC, it sold for about $20.<br /><br />FYI, 110 film (aka Pocket Instamatic) is no longer made, but new/old stock can still be found (e.g. http://www.frugalphotographer.com/cat110.htm). If your local drugstore won't take it, you can send it to Dwayne's (http://www.dwaynesphoto.com/ Actually, even if your local store takes it, they probably just ship it off to Dwayne's!)Erik Magnusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402256277072989597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411044701345142518.post-50007917653376273042009-09-09T12:21:22.880-04:002009-09-09T12:21:22.880-04:00I just bought one of these at a car boot sale for ...I just bought one of these at a car boot sale for a fiver!

Do you have a Wolf Camera near you? I think they do that. It would be so interesting to see what kind of pics it takes. A viewfinder. Imagine that! I insist on having one on my camera. Call me old-fashioned!
