Pioneered by Kodak and adopted by most major camera manufacturers, the Advanced Photo System was an attempt at a major upgrade of photographic technology for amateurs.
It was introduced in 1996, but was soon overtaken by the popularity of digital photography.
Within five years of the format's launch, sales had dropped significantly and in January 2004, Kodak announced it was ceasing APS camera production.
I thought it was a ‘good idea’ at the time and got myself a Fujifilm APS camera but the results were quite poor.  Digital photography had arrived and I bought my first digital camera in 1999.  I’ve never looked back.  
I found this lot in a box and when I started to investigate what the photographs were all about, I realised just how good (and convenient) digital is.  I just need to check for anything I should save/scan and then bin the rest…..
