Hi !
As I was disassembling rotten camera stuff for spare parts today ( whole day raining ), I decided to build my own Trash Cam inspired by Mr. Tichy. Took me half an hour. The basic is ( was ) a 1956 Exa pepped up with some cheap lenses from an Eastern Bloc bakelite camera mounted in a empty toilet paper roll, an old Zeiss reflection mirror, “new” film winding knobs ( needed some drilling ), some tape and rubber bands . I don’t think the result is great art, but its fun anyway. I first wanted to run a roll of film through, but I had to determine that I had none at home, so I pictured the matt screen image with the DSLR. They are looking like faded pictures from 50 years old magazines.
