What bird???

Blackbird, Fly. What a funny name for a camera huh? This company in Japan, Superheadz will be releasing these ultra cool TLR cameras in Summer 2008. They use 35mm film instead of the medium format ones commonly used in old TLRs. How I wish I could lay my dirty paws …

New cutie in town!

Just when I thought the Dreamer camera is the last cutie I’ll buy in a while … here comes another super cool camera to tempt me. Arriving to a local online store soon … a cool blue version of the Golden Half camera! If I ever succumb to this temptation, …

Hi-tech? Lo-tech? Plas-tic!

My long awaited Dreamer camera has arrived! Well it’s nothing to wow about, as it is exactly the same camera as the Diana F+ camera but how often do you see such a delicious pretty camera being released these days? Oh, I’d also like to take the opportunity to ‘flaunt’ …

Instax 200 hack : Version 1.0

Finally … after a very long while, the completion of my Instax 200 camera hack … version 1.0 I ripped out the lens from my Instax 200 camera (okay, that sounds a bit violent, please don’t try that at home) and then ‘replaced’ it with a lens from a broken …

Panda+?

The preorder secret Diana F+ special edition is designed to celebrate Diana’s birthplace – Hong Kong … has arrived! It’s earlier than I expected, since the launch date is tomorrow. Quite a funny color combo and the distance indicator in front of the lens is my favourite … instead of …

Delicious Dreamer!

This can’t be happening! First it was a yet-to-be-launched pre order of special edition Hong Kong Diana F+ cameras on Lomography Asia and now this? Look at that Dreamer camera … it looks so sweet I could eat it! Oh well, there goes some more money into buying another piece …

Juicy camera!

I’ve been eyeing this camera for a long long time and finally someone has one for sale here. Did try get a friend’s friend to get it from Korea but somehow it didn’t happen. I know it’s just a simple camera with a shutter speed of 1/100 and a f/9.5 …

Hello & goodbye

Yesterday was a day of hellos and goodbyes. I traded two of my cameras for smaller compact ones. First it was my Canon G7 with a Ricoh GX100, as I somehow prefer a more compact digital that fits in my pocket. Since I used to own a GRD, using the …

My LC-A+ gets a makeover

The LC-A/LC-A+ camera is one great camera (toy?) but I guess the Russians were pretty conservative with their design and it looks pretty boring. Lomography Society International added a slight ‘makeover’ to it by adding the Lomo boy on the viewfinder cover but I guess that doesn’t do (too) much …

Plastic rulez!

Okay, I admit that I’m dead bored. Here I am, taking photos of some of my toys again. This time, they are the Ami 66, a plastic toy camera from Poland during the communist era and the Druh Synchro camera, also from Poland around 1956. I’ve yet to use them …
