Not at all possible. The dummy on the left who is about to squeeze the bulb has neglected to put a lens on his camera.
None of the CC members would ever be guilty of such a goof............................Would they??

Have shot an entire roll of film on Fed 2 with the lens cap on. |

Dark slides are very easy to leave in place...............(in plate cameras for the youngsters, not a dark slide as in underexposed Kodachrome).

I like the baby with the ipod - that will be me coz i'm younger than half of you! I reckon the lensless man is Stephen, in his avatar he appears to be making an exposure while viewing the ground glass plate, so he's no stranger to schoolboy errors then. I think the old woman at the front is Mickey in drag. Who are the rest? Ladies...

The film pack is clearly in place in the Avatar, an Ernemann advert.

I reckon the lensless man is Stephen, in his avatar he appears to be making an exposure while viewing the ground glass plate, so he's no stranger to schoolboy errors then. I think the old woman at the front is Mickey in drag. Who are the rest? Ladies... Drag! What drag? That was an expensive shawl. Cashmere no less. Custom made. When I sit in my rocking chair its fringes never drag on the floor. "The baby with the ipod"? Hallucinating again Phil? No ipod. But I agree it must be you. After dragging that heavy vice around with you you are probably to exhausted to hold a man sized camera. The guy with the black camera must be Ron making sure everything goes smoothly. It is probably an early Mamiya. The woman in white is obviously the upstairs maid taking pictures of the neatly made beds which she will use when she asks for a raise. The lady with the orange hair is the owner's wife, the lensless guy. She knows he never gets a decent picture and backs him up with her French "The New Cosaque" falling plate Detective Camera. THat's the troof. Mickey |
