"The PHOTO-SEE camera and Devloping tank should not be treated as novelties" - says the manual...
Why it wasn't a big success
?
Preparing the solutions is not
a very simple task- just compare it to the POLAROID cameras: where
you get the camera, film (and no need for "developing solutions") ALL READY
for use!!! Secondly, the box-camera quality... again, compared to the Polaroid.
(Don't forget that the POLAROID came 10 years later!!
DESCRIPTION
1) THE CAMERA: A simple box with the a removable back
that holds the 'film' (encased in a black light-proof packet). Thus, allowing
the 'film' to be removed in daylight from the camera into the develoving
tank.
2) THE DEVLOPING TANK: has special holes for filling it with the developing-solutions. The 'film' is attached to the developing tank and the development-proccess is controled by the photographer.
The devolping process takes 7-8 minutes.
