[Leica] O.T. Need some info on old roll film adapters

[rhc3vt at hotmail.com (Richard Coutant)]

I still have my old Kodak No. 2A Brownie box camera sitting right in front 
of me on a shelf, with a notice taped to the back that says "Eastman Kodak 
Co. will not manufacture Verichrome-pan film in this size after 1974".  And 
I'm still pissed.  When I wrote Kodak a letter back then all I got was an 
Instamatic brochure.  I learned a great deal of what little I know about 
photography with that camera.
