Actually, yes, you can. With this you really don't need the face of the camera to take a picture. The really old cameras were SOOO simplistic. As long as the shutter works, and it does, and the box seals light out, and it does.....that's all you really need. All you have to do is go online and find some fresh film for it. They DO still make the different films for camera buffs. It's a little more expensive because there isn't that much call for it, but it IS out there in internetland. Bought it myself.
