4x5 camera made out of Legos: Legotron Mark I

[Derrel]

Below I have provided a link to a blog post about a 4x5 sheet film camera made entirely out of Lego pieces! In the article, it is shown fitted with what looks to me to be a 127mm, moderate speed lens with a Graphic interlens shutter--maybe an older Kodak Ektar lens or something?

Anyway, this blog post shows the Lego camera,and has four sample shots made with it, from the maker's very earliest efforts on day 1....and I have to say, it looks like it would be FUN to build one of these! A fixed, rigid body that had say, a 150 to 180mm Nikkor-W or Fujinon-W lens might make for a fun Lego Portrait Camera, with a totally rigid body and the focus established at say, 3 meters, or 10 feet! (This just to eliminate the need for a bellows, or a cell-focusing lens.)

Legotron, Mark I
