 That's a pretty daring publicity! I suppose by todays' standards this kind of "negative" targeting would be a no-no move. But this expresses such a nice careless spirit of the era. |

Oh well, I'm sure someone from the 70's would be glad to change places, since we always prefer what we cannot have. Grass is greener and all that
(especially if shot on colour Fujifilm, and too late for that too). |

Well, occasionally the big camera manufacturers did this crazy "Bring Deine Alte ..." marketing stuff here in Switzerland, too.
Did you ever contemplate what's happenin' with the old cameras they collected??
Well, they end up on a big heap. Thousands of them, literally. And since they should disappear from the market, they have to be destroyed. That's not a terribly interesting work, and so it ends up being done by disabled and mentally ill persons in a special, protected workshop. And these guys can't believe their eyes. Some almost cry when they have to drill a big hole into a nice and working camera. They cannot understand what's going on.
That's how it was (is?) done here in Switzerland.
And you wouldn't believe what people had brought in to get the promised benefit.

Well, the old cameras and lenses are too surviving. They stay on the way to the dividends for shareholders. From their point of view it is a real crime. Which should be prevented by any means.
Modern ones are produced much more wisely anyway. They are trusted bodies, and the real workhorses. But with the premeditated end. At the very due time.
