Function

TO RECORD STILL IMAGES IN TWO DIMENSIONAL FORMAT, ON ROTATING DISK (FILM).

Technical

THE "TELE DISC" CAMERA WAS A REVIVAL OF AN OLD IDEA (SEE STIRN CAMERA 1981.1098); THEY WERE POPULAR IN 1980'S BUT LOST THEIR GLORY BECAUSE QUALITY OF LARGER PRINTS WAS POOR (REF. 2)/ KODAK INTRODUCED THE FORMAT IN 1982 BUT ULTRA-SMALL NEGATIVES WERE NEVER VERY SUCCESSFUL; PRODUCTION OF THE CAMERA CEASED IN 1990 AND THE FILM IN 1998 (REF. 3)
