Re: Non-3D camera help please

Apologies to the 3-d list for a non stereo answer.  I will try to work in a
3-d thread if I can.
The Polaroid Model 80 was made in 1954, used type 31 film (not avail.
anymore), and made 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 pictures.  I can't think of any use for this
camera other than general collecting.  The only old Polaroids that are worth
converting to modern film are the 110A & B series. Now, if you had two of
them you could mount them on a twin bar and... still have a useless setup as
no film is available.  I tried. 
The Wirgin/Edixa (both names used quite often, sometimes just one or the
other).  I think that Edixa was the main manufacturer and Wirgin a name used.
 I assume your camera is a 35mm single lens camera?  I saw one at a local
show and it used many of the same parts as the stereo Edixa/Wirgin.  I think
 the single lens model has no value other than collecting.  But, if you had
two of them you could mount them on a twin bar and have a very compicated
version of the much better Wirgin Stereo camera.
