Very cool! I have 3 in all (I was lucky to find them at a good price). The gold plated one must very cool!! The only problem is that I have no clue about what type of film to use in them, not to mention if they actually work or not.

Hmmm they uses fujifilm fp 100b/ 100c/3000b. Do yours have the battery section modified to fit 3 AAA's yet ?

I went and hauled mine out of storage, I believe its a different model than yours. The top area, for the flash I think (also where you look to take the photo) is not the same as yours. Anyway it says Land Camera Automatic 104, if that tells you anything lol. And no, it only takes the one battery (3.0 V)and to my surprise the original battery was in it! haha. It looks awesome.
Can I ask where you get your film? Can they be purchased online?

Ahhh okay ! Mine is 215 actually but i guess they use the same film. Hmm yeap they only do take in one battery, but you can modify them yourself to make it fit with battery that is available practically anywhere ! I got my film on ebay ! Its way cheaper than getting it in the stores here in Singapore ! On ebay i got a box (10 shots) for around SGD$18 dollars, and they sell it for some SGD$40 in stores ! D:

Oh that's cool! Is it difficult to modify it to fit a modern battery? Ok, so I'll check online for that film too! Oh and one more question (sorry for all the question marks lol) but once I'm finished with the film is there something special that must be done with this type, or can I bring it into a store and have them develop it for me as normal?

ahahahah here is the link that shows how to modify them ! [link]
Hmm as for the films, they are instant peel offs, so all you need to do is to dispose the negative and keep the positives. i recommend getting the matt/silk one, so that you wont get much fingerprints on it. And nope you do not need to bring it to a store, cause the will develop by themselves !
