That is the ability to instantly review the shot ( chimp ). Back in the days of film the only option was to use Polaroid film in a seperate camera body.

You are absolutely right Don and how much we have come so far!
Vividly remember the days of Polaroid back and could always fantasize "How marvelous would it be to see the actual result of setting you put up on the manual cameras of 70s in an instant image, with out waiting for film role to be finished, rewind, got it to photographer's shop, developed, fixed, pictured and finally viewed by the paper picture in matter of weeks, with no ability of general photographer to contribut at all in post processing except may be chosing the glossy or non glossy paper...that is unless he is runnig his own photoshop and non virtual color darkroom. B & W was obviously a different story.
Of course after all dealing with the image size etc, the Polaroid result was dependent on its chemical and factors that could be something erroneous or not reproducible by the final image on the film ....
Your last link had a beautiful image of all the "Black Knights" the
History of the Black Photomic Finders towards the end of the article.
Do you remember the switch from silver metal body, to black?
Here are two other great fish eye lenses of Nikon, one AF. Wish I could find a way to attach the images permanently to this web page as they will die when ebay remove the auction in 90 days time after auction ends.
