Mamiya U
Seriously? He was ALL HANDS! Super HANDy to use. If you’re not too picky about making decent images, the Mamiya U might be for “U”. Maybe I’m just not all that good with the zone focus? Sporting a 2.8 Mamiya Sekor 35mm lens, it’s a bit picky on the closer focus increments. My infinity shots […]
KOA Happy Camper Kamera
I believe I pikked this kamera up at a Puget Sound Photographik kollector’s sokiety camera show in Kent, Wa. If you volunteer to work the club table at the event, you get to come early. You also get a $25 certificate to spend at any table. You get first dibs on anything that was donated […]
Split-cam
Image Fusion! I bought this camera a while back at Archie McPhee’s. It’s supposed to be able to meld two images together. It has these little sliding black doors across the lens and viewfinder. You close both sliding doors. You advance the film (35mm). You open one door (top or bottom) on both the lens […]
World’s Fair
Kodak World’s Fair Flash Camera: Oh man! How I have missed the “pop …fizz” of flashbulbs! 2 AA’s and a few AG1B’s later, I’m sated. Manufactured in 1964-65 specifically to commemorate the New York World’s Fair, this little plastic number shoots 12 square images on 127 roll film. Use a penny to loosen the access […]
Tony The Tiger
Tony has always been a sexy beast. He didn’t see it coming however, when Tony was inundated with “Furrie” fetish folks on Twitter. He’s masculine, yet gentle. Gives them the hots. Who knew? This camera arrived in a Swiffer Sweeper box and was sent to me from Ian. I put a roll of Kodak BW400CN (a C41 process “b&w” film … like, fake […]
Victoria’s Secret
I found this camera at a Goodwill store in Kentucky. It had a roll of exposed C41 in it. I swear these are photos of the women of Victoria’s Secret! Looks like someone had opened the back about 100 times. There were scary bits and pieces on the film. This camera […]
Transparent Camera
I found this camera at a Value Village in Tacoma. The price tag said 99 cents but it was half price day so I got it for $.50. I know, I got screwed out of a half a penny. There was a roll of film inside and I’m such a sucker for exposed film. Okay […]
Squirt Cameras!
In the spirit of coaxing each and every “camera” to actually perform and create art, I present the Squirt Gun Camera page. [You must have a lot of time on your hands, if you’re burning it reading this.] Diana-Like in their simplicity, these squirt gun cameras – though they appear similar – are as different […]
Micro-Pet 110 SHOOT-OUT!
“A pro chooses her favorite!”
Mini Camera
The hell I went through to get these images! The hell I say! I bought this “mini camera” off the Internet. When it arrived, there were two mini cameras in the box. I’m sure it was an oversight on the sender’s part, but it turned out to be a good thing for me. I have […]
WWF Slam Cam
A digital camera made in China by Toymax. If this isn’t about the stupidest camera … Stupid thing #1: It takes one of those square 9 volt batteries, and batteries aren’t included. When I got it home and saw the deficiency… well … you know there’s only ONE place where a 9 volt […]
Just Ducky
Marcy’s Just Ducky camera review: Well, it’s no Deluxe FryCam. It arrived as a surprise in my mailbox. The timing couldn’t have been better! I was searching for the perfect camera to document the 2017 eclipse experience. Something somewhat technical and scientific-ish. I loaded her up with some Efke 400 which had expired in July of […]
Barbie Cameras!
Barbie Hollywood Star Camera: Once again, Mattel proves, We Girls Can Do Anything! The Barbie for girls Hollywood Star Camera! I picked it up for a song at a Value Village in Olympia. The camera, available in (what else?) Barbie pink, has a flash that is intermittent, but Barbie’s lights were never always on anyway. […]
Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius Camera
The shape of the Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius Camera gives it the ability to be useful for many different and stimulating applications. It takes good pictures but I like it anyway. It accepts 35mm film. Phil Arny gave me this camera. He got it for $1.99 at a Value Village. I know that because he […]
Empire Baby
The very first time I saw an Empire Baby Camera on eBay, I thought it was the cutest little thing. Someone from Australia was auctioning it. I bid $5 and was outbid .I bought my first Empire Baby at the annual camera show in Puyallup, Washington. There, I paid my five bucks. This tiny (3 1/2″ x […]
Prince-Flex “Camera”
When I got this, I didn’t know what it was. It’s not a camera. The fake shutter lever swings aside and the “lens” pops open and there’s a removable cup. Did it hold candy, or something? This tin “camera” is 1 1/4″ wide and 2 3/4″ tall, including the viewfinder. Made in Japan. Here’s […]
Kraft Velveeta Shells & Cheese Camera
Kraft Velveeta and Shells Dinner Camera: Oh 110 film! Now, you can definitely call this little cutie “cheesy”! The color is YELLOW. Not just any yellow, but Velveeta yellow. The camera body probably has fewer polymers in it than an actual chunk of Velveeta. I’ve had two of these Shells & Cheese Dinner camera bodies. The second […]
Marcy’s King’s Lights Cigarette Camera Review:
I bought this camera because its viewfinder is the “Reverse Galilean” type. No… it just seemed like an affordable alternative to taking up smoking. I decided I wanted to be a spy. [” I vanted to be a schpy.”] The pack says, “Made with a choice blend of the world’s finest camera.” I tried […]
Marcy’s Deluxe FryCam
I was getting ready for a trip to the desert southwest. What to bring … what to bring … what to bring… I had to ask myself the question WWAD? [What Would Ansel Do?] Why, he’d bring the Deluxe Fry Cam, of course! Mama always said photography was a “Would you like fries with […]
