This is very cool. Unfortunately my tired mind misassembled the title and now I’m disappointed that this story doesn’t have any Starfighters.

...how can a 100+ year old camera still shoot photos? It can’t. UNLESS HE USED HIS TIME MACHINE TO GO BUY A CAMERA 100 YEARS AGO AND IT’S ACTUALLY ONLY DAYS TO WEEKS OLD IN OUR TIME

I’ve seen this story now a few times, being a photographer, and it is so annoying that they misidentify the camera as a “view camera” when it is a single lens reflex.

BTW, such cameras used to be used extensively for sports and action photography, albeit with a much longer lens:

That sounds like it’d leave a nasty wound.
