I just realized that this year, 2007, the infamous Nimslo 3D camera turned 25 years old. Which makes it an antique, if not a classic.

In honor of the occasion, I dug out my two Nimslo 3Ds and loaded them with their required 386 batteries, just to test them and keep their components moving.

And I was sort of surprised to find that the automatic shutters aren't responding anymore Ñ I mean, the shutter remains open for as long as I hold the shutter release, although the thing is supposed to self-adjust its shutter speed per lighting conditions. And both Nimslo cameras are misbehaving in this fashion.

I remember once reading somewhere that the photosensitive eye of the Nimslo requires exposure to bright light for a period of time before it will function properly, but I can't confirm that as yet.

Anyone else out there have experience with the Nimslo 3D and its peculiar shutter behavior? Thanks!
