: : Hobbyist seeking 'Kodalux DPD 12/24' mailers. The mailers were intended for processing 12-15 exposure 'one-time-use/disposable' panoramic format
: : (a novelty in the mid-1990's) as well as single 35mm color film rolls, but were discontinued. Bummer.
: : Would appreciate any leads, sources, etc.
: : Thanks folks.

: I look for Kodak mailers on ebay every day as an economical, if not failsafe, way of getting film developed. I don't remember ever seeing any DPD mailers offered, but I have posted the search that I use below. You've got to wade through some Nikon finders, but you usually don't miss any mailers.
: Konica made some panoramic one time cameras, that have 19mm lenses on them. I believe these were discontinued more recently. I have read a web page from a gentleman who has taken to converting these one time use cameras over to reusuable cameras, providing a cheap fisheye type camera. Fascinating site, and I have seen the Konica panoramic cameras offered on ebay, within the last year.
Thanks for your prompt reply, John S. Your Ebay suggestion has to be the way to go & I will pursue it.
That whole '35mm one-time panoramic camera'-thing was a fad, hence Kodalux discontinued the DPD 12/24 mailers, accordingly. Too bad as the 'disposables' in that format were ideal for tourists (you'd have great wide photos in your mailbox on your return) & special occasions . . . some even had an optional electronic flash.
Thanks again.
