You think that there is no humidity in air, only in water? ;)

hehehe, you got me there Zoom! [:D].. I guess Îñóøèòåëü made me first think of water applications.. I stand corrected and will change the description of the entry. And thank you Mike for identifying the camera - I love it! - the Wiki project at its best!

nice to help![:)]

I recently purchased a FARM-3 camera, a very interesting piece, looks a lot like FARM-2, almost identical. There is another piece on eBay that has a viewfinder that goes into the film cartridge slot. I guess I'm a bit confused why you would need a viewfinder if there is already a viewfinder for both eyes on it... [:D]

here's the piece on eBay I'm talking about:
