This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

Cameras and Records!
I have an old Diana F camera somewhere in the apocalypse I call my bedroom, I'm using it for my Photography A-Level. It's my Nan's and she's had it since she was 30ish (So around 1956). Absolute shite for pictures now, but the teachers and examiners jizz all over it!

I have this old record player as well that I got from a charity shop that I play some stuff on when I want to relax/work.
Along with an original vinyl of the "Lady and the Tramp" soundtrack!
But noooo, I never use it for fun!
*Hides Bonnie Tyler, The Supremes and Joan Jett records*

In my day
Russian stuff like Zenits, Zorki's Lubitels and the like were what you dought if you were borassic with a heavy photo bug. Diana's were the sort of thing you'd get in a cornflakes packet.

Now the trendies jizz on it.

Lubitel 166B, bought that as my first MF camera for 20 quid. Still got it, but now they sell to the "Yoof" for 10 times that

Daft!

When
people jizz on cameras, does it do something to the picture, like smearing vaseline on the lens?

I think I have the same Lubitel
it's pretty cute, I might dig it out again sometime soon (at the danger of accidentally looking cool)

Are they?

We just got told that using old film cameras could get us good marks and show we are willing to "Experiment" and my Nan said she had one I could use.

Bloody hipsters, always one step ahead.

to be fair plastic cameras have been pretty popular in
photography for about 7 years or so, it's only recently the hipsters have got in on it
