Kit cameras

[kamelean]

As anyone built one of the kit cameras that are available? I just got done building a TLR camera that looks like a plastic Rolleiflex. For 10 bucks from Amazon, it can't be beat. It takes artsy pictures, and I learned a lot by building it. Surely I'm not the only one to try one of these things out...

Link?

Sounds interesting, and for $10, I would probably try it. Couldn't find them on Amazon though...

Found it.

Looks just like the Blackbird Fly, but for 10% the price. I think I'll get one to mess around with...

That's the one. I've ran one roll of film through mine, and aside from a few light leaks and some lens flare, all is good. I'm posting from my iPhone now, but I'll put up a picture taken from it tomorrow.

I added a little lens flare with Gimp to cover up a double lens flare that happened with this double exposure. Big thanks to my wife for being a good sport.

The PP'd lens flare doesn't fit. I think the double flare it's covering up might fit better...

I have one of those...haven't built it yet though. Tasks for the New Year...
