    it wasn’t for dumb people who didn’t know any better

    I mean, it kind of was though, wasn’t it?

    Just because more knowledgeable people found it interesting and got it for the novelty or to see how it worked doesn’t mean it wasn’t a product intended for people who, Kodak hoped, wouldn’t know any better. That doesn’t mean I’m saying your father didn’t know better.

      yeah fair enough.

      I actually got a bit nostalgic and interesred due to this post and read the wikipedia article about them, and supposedly the prints were supposed to ne made with this six lens process but few labs got the equipment needed, and continued to develop the film with standard three lens systems, so the photos came out with half the quality the producers intended
