'Old fashioned' cameras ?

[jp]

My little girl called it a fashion camera instead of an old fashioned camera.

Any camera that doesn't have wifi options is old fashioned.

So be it.

What's really obnoxious are old-fashioned photographers...

i don't care what NGS says ...

i saw "antiques road show / junk in the trunk" a few hours ago
and a lady had a darlot lens'ed american daguerreotype camera ( tailboard )
i don't think the appraiser called it "old fashioned" he should have !
he described the process (simplistically ) suggested the camera was from about
1850, and then told the owner it was worth about 7,500$ ..

Actually, they are Old-Fashioned if you accept the definition put forth by Merriam Webster ... 1a: of, relating to, or characteristic of a past era.
Or Dictionary.com ... 1. of a style or kind that is no longer in vogue. 2. favored or prevalent in former times.

Wikipedia has a much better description, and one that's sure to ease the OP's frustration...

THAT Old Fashioned would definitely help...with my cold

Although my post wasn't entirely super serious, I usually get more inevitable questions about buying film for the cameras but that's expected if they think 120 and 35mm film are hard to find. People are surprised when I tell them large format cameras are still being made in several countries and that their prices can rival and often eclipse, the best dslr's out there. well maybe not the Leica S2....this gets their attention

The funny-strange thing is, that some people are already looking at D820 and D760 (have seen it on couple of forums)...and anything current will be viewed as "old fashioned". I mean, go figure! They can call whatever it pleases them.

Embrace the "old fashioned" Like it or not, you too are ultimately headed in that direction.

Here's the REALLY funny thing about us old "effers". We were well within our technology standards for decades. These young whippersnappers... outdated in two years. LOL!!!

My 8x10 is from 1888, and the 11x14 from 1887. I'm pretty sure that goes right past 'old-fashioned' and into 'antique' territory.

Am I the only one who is frustrated when large format field cameras are described in articles as 'old fashioned' ?...

I'm certainly not; they are. At the Grand Canyon two weeks ago, passersby frequently asked "how old is that camera?" It was with great satisfaction that I answered every such inquiry by explaining how Ebony built it (SV Wholeplate) for me in 2007. Each person who heard my "speech" was fascinated and surprised, not to mention happy, that such things, including film for them, are still available brand new.
