The Ultimate Contraption?
« on: February 24, 2010, 01:37:18 PM »
With all due respect to Francois I'd like to nominate this as 'The Ultimate Photography Contraption'.

Yes it's true, he's making his own film - what a man!  :o :o

It's been around for a while now...
I know this guy probably has everyone beat when it comes to complexity of the setup. But sadly, there hasn't been that many pictures shot with the resulting film... (as far as I know, it has been used maybe only once to produce film).
There was a very lengthy thread on APUG when it came out.
