Given our collective fascination with... shall we say long established camera technology, I thought you might enjoy this website.

It contains high res scans of old photos, from 1860s glass negatives up to 1960s colour and everywhere in between. They have been beautifully scanned and painstakingly restored, they really are a joy to look at. Click on any of the images to see the high res version, the detail in some of the shots, even back to the 1860s is wonderful, confirming what we here already knew, big is better

Do not go to this website if you have anything you need to do within the next couple of hours...

I've whiled away a few too many hours on this site, it is addictive! Look for the fascinating story as to how the site got its name.

Thanks for the link. What an amazing collection. The level of detail is astounding and, as you say, somewhat addictive.
