Topic: Interesting Camera Nr.37 - Superheadz LAST CAMERA

[jojonas~]

I've totally missed that this came out, it's Superheadz latest creation. and with a name like that... what do they mean??



anyhow, it seems interesting. it's a DIY camera and after the fun I had with building my gakkenflex I'm intruiged now too...
here are the specs (google translated) :

■ Using film : 35mm film, ISO400 recommended

■ PVC Size: D33mm × H70mm × W110mm

■ Shutter Speed​​: [22mm] 1/125 about, [45mm] 1/100 about

■ use lens configuration: two plastic lens

■ Weight: 120g (22mm lens when mounted)

■ accessories: A set of parts, manual, driver for assembly, 22mm lens / 45mm Lens, light leakage backdoor backdoor / Normal

two things interest me here: being able to switch lenses, and one being 22mm(!)



same focal length as the uws I've got so no real upgrade there. 45mm is nice too.. though I can't find any info on aperture for the lenses. it also has a lever on the top for bulb mode.

seems like a fun little camera!

Interesting! But I guess with the Vivitar UWS and the PN2011 I might now have enough toy cameras for now (not sure if that's possible ) ...

Toy cameras are sneaky. You get one, then another... and as soon as you know it, you have a bunch of them and you love them all equally.

[Urban Hafner]

You're right. And selling them isn't really worth it so you just keep them ...

[SLVR]

Some UWS on the the bay go for quite a hefty sum! I think ive seen $50-$100 range for a UWS 

[astrobeck]

that's crazy about the UWS, I bought both of mine at a thrift store for $3 each!  I LOVE mine.

I think they make the best photos for cheap plastic crappiness.

uws cameras still going for that?? haha, there seems to be toycamera collectors out there still.
that or users who only want the original and run every camera to the ground. proper

so true!! I'm glad to pass on that pn2011 though

this looks fun to have a go at building... anyone know a UK stockist? a very very quick google search didn't turn up anything... I'll check their facebook page when I think to...

I got my Viv UWS for £0.99 in a charity shop in 2004.  I sold it earlier this year on the bay for £29.00

Madness.

They mention on their Facebook page that you can order directly from them here: https://www.powershovel.co.jp/form/overseas_order/

No idea about the cost though.

Whoever dies with the most toy cameras wins.

Pretty cool, too bad i don't shoot more 35mm. I have a Leica i haven't gotten around to using yet!

definitely not worth that price haha. if i knew that they go for that i wouldnt have given it out for the Share the Love thing 

just kidding though

It needs a nice skin though...

Found it in the U.S: http://www.ultrafineonline.com/su35diylaca.html

Don't know anything about the company, but might give them a chance anyway.

With those removable panels, it should be easy to do something fun. Some adhesive, an X-ACTO knife and an old purse and voila.
