110 film! The first time I figured out that capacitors hurt was when I dropped a 110 film camera. The front plate popped off and when I tried to pick up the camera, I touched the wrong part of the circuit board and the flash cap discharged into my hand. I dropped the camera, and it recharged the capacitors. I picked it up again and got zapped again. Was not the brightest kid. Picked it up more carefully and popped the front plate back on. Camera was fine. Entire cartridge of film developed perfectly.
You beat me to it. It was so satisfying to brute force the… Advancement square(?) between each shot. Made me feel like a spy, even though the camera was being blue and my sister had covered it with stickers of holographic dolphins.
I’m a millennial and my first camera used film cassettes similar to these ones.

110 cameras were the absolute best!
