This is my latest Camera! Got it for £2 at a car boot sale. This was the first camera I ever used when I was about 12 or so. Its made of Bakelite! I love it. Of great sentimental value.
You can still get film for it and there people who will develop it for you but it's expensive all round.
Initially I just thought I'll have this for sentimental reasons it was only £2 but then I thought I'd like to have a play :-) I did some research and found there's a 'hack' you can do using 35mm film (links below). I've had a go but reckon I totally messed up. Taking the film in today will see :-)
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if it still worked. Though finding the film and someone to process it could be challenging.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Are you going to try and use it or is it for display/sentiment only.
