Nishika Info Wanted

[P3D Ralph Johnston <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just picked up a Nishika at a church yard sale for $25.  It is MINT ie.
the original plastic wraps still on, and the batteries never inserted.  Also
included was a flash, case, and Vincent Price instructional video.

Recently I read in this newsgroup about some of the limitations of this
camera but can't find the letter with my Eudora FIND command.  WHAT # OF THE
NEWSLETTER WAS THIS IN?  The letter talked about some of the stupid control
features of the flash etc.  Many other letters talk about the much-maligned
Nishika.  How bad it it?

I plan to use the camera for scanning only.  I like the StereoRealist better
but don't own a negative scanner.  I doubt that Konica would scan it because
of the 5perf spacing.  However, they might scan the 4perf as pairs in the
standard 8perf format.  Then I can discard the middle two images, and load
the end two images onto my Internet WEB page for cross-eyed or wall-eyed
viewing or both.  Check out my LINMAR PERSIANS WEB PAGE for 2-d cat photos.
Soon there will be a 3-d page.
