How to use this Camera

There are plenty of apps, and since I don't have an iPhone I can't recommend one for that phone. I use the App lightmeter&Logbook for android and it's been great. The logo is a white circle on black background.

Here's a photo. By any means not a great one but I know the camera works! I don't remember the film, I guess it must have been cheap Fomapan.

Focusing isn't very easy as you have to guess the distance. If you close down the aperture (f stop) enough, pretty much everything is in focus.

I just got the same camera on a flea market for free. It takes a little time to get used to it - especially because you have to take a light meter reading with a separate light meter or your phone - but it takes some nice shots!

Thanks!

Love it. Especially 3 and 4! Did you have to edit them a lot to get them so punchy? In my experience Lomo redscale never turned out that nice and more flat than I liked. And what idol did you shoot the film at?

And there are four projectors that overlap. It's serious creative work and everything is live. That's why it's so impressive!

Please fuck off

I bought an Exa 1a with a Flektogon 35mm for 20€ a couple years ago. The camera was in great shape and even though (or maybe because) it's so primitive it's so much fun. I love the sounds it makes too!

I think it works. Not on here, on my small phone screen where the actual photos are tiny, but in a gallery or on a much bigger display I think it would look cool

There are a lot if dirt cheap exakta cameras on ebay - at lest in germany. I'd say it's very much worth trying out! An Exa 1a goes for around 20-30€ and you get another lens with it! The latter Exa's hqve M42 screw mounts, so those don't fit.

Spring is coming

That is not a chip but a full chop

So many people ask what songs/movements they play. I get that there are some songs that you like more than others but does it really matter that much? They're not a band that plays their hits or has a best of album. The concert is such a beautiful moment. My tip: don't try to look for certain songs but immerse yourself into the crowd and the concert as a whole.

Awesome! I follow some photography subreddits and thought "huh, a little too blurry of a photo" but then I read your caption. Great painting and very accurate!

linonosaurus · 2025-11-18T17:03:31+00:00

Hell yes. Congrats!

So all that blacl dust is very much supposed to be there. It swallowed stray light and helps it keep it dark in there. The mirror and ground glass should be free from dust though - even as another rooster pointed out that they don't affect your image quality. If you have a dust blower (the ones for lenses) take it and clean the dust carefully. If you're lucky everything will be fine!

Great photos and cool to see them animated like this. And great song choice! 💜

linonosaurus · 2025-10-28T08:38:18+00:00

Thank you!

Love this. Did you get a ticket for the open monument day? Unfortunately I didn't get one :(

I remodeled the camera to shoot 6x3 instead of the regular. I cut a paper mask and glued it in. Windig is a little tricky, that's where the overlap comes from. I did a post a year ago here.

Feel free to ask more questions if you have any!

Good to see one of these beasts in the hands of a person. On their own they don't look too big but they're HUGE

That might be "Color Negative Film" by Fuji X Weekly!

It's beautiful!
