You better eat a lot of popscicles next summer!
« on: January 31, 2013, 10:39:41 PM »
I just found this on the DIY Photo site

A great project for those with kids. Much better than building some shoddy looking building with the sticks. As an added bonus, you won't feel as compelled to throw the thing in the bin once they're done with it  ;)

The simplicity of this blew my mind. I'd love to try something like that out. Anyone know the details on that film holder?

That is so wonderful!  I actually want one now, but the bellows portion is still too daunting.  :)

You could simply use any packfilm camera.

As for bellows, they're not that hard to make. It looks harder than it actually is.
I tried making one once and it wasn't that bad. It didn't look as pristine as the commercial ones but it still wasn't half bad.
