1. How do photo booths work? (you know, the little booths where you pay
   ~ $1 and get a strip of 4 photos). Are they polaroid, contacts or what.

2. I would like to get a medium format camera with a ground glass viewer,
   (perhaps like the Pentax 6X7), which also can take 6X6 negatives. I have
   heard that some cameras have this capability through separate backs. It
   seems to me that if a camera already has the capability to take 6X7
   negatives, to allow it to take 6X6 would be simple. Two things would be
   necessary: a way to advance the film 6/7ths as far as for 6X7, and a way to
   extend the sides of the film frame to allow only a 6X6 area of the negative
   to be exposed. My question is, has this method been engineered into any
   cameras, and if not, why not? Is it prctical to modify a camera to do this?
