Some might consider it so, but you can still buy the 127 film it accepts, load it, and shoot with it.</p> <p>At a thrift store in Flagstaff, I found a giant flash pack and reflector that resembled the smaller one that came with the camera. The pack also included 7 flash bulbs, ones that I had never found or seen before. For $2, I had to have it.</p> <p>This is an HD video of the flash bulb going off. They&rsquo;re one time use only, so I figured documenting the technology was more worthwhile than using it for its intended purpose.</p> <p>You can find these GE #5 flash-type bulbs online for about a buck a piece on eBay.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/10792602?dnt=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" allow="fullscreen"> </iframe> </div> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10792602">Starflex Brownie w/ Flash Bulb</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1731513">Kyle Anderson</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
