toy camera - minoltina

9 photos in this collection.

The Minoltina is an ancient camera from before the Earth\'s crust had cooled. It has some sort of obsolete metering technology that for the most part no longer works.

Also, such \'60s cameras have light seals that need repair or will cause leaks.

In all, an old Minoltina is great fun to use. Here is the results of a roll of film I shot with one, back in 2003.

A camera dating to 1954 that only a camera-lover would use. As pictured below, sitting atop my 200x-era "Joby" tripod.

toy cameras – oktomat

13 photos in this collection.

The Lomography Oktomat is a current (as of 2008, anyway) toy camera made of plastic. It features eight tiny lenses, each of which fires in sequence to record an image into 1/8 of a negative. These are timed so that each frame in the resulting photo is like a piece of a movie.

It's got no meter whatsoever, and is fun to use.
