A Fun Customized PS 8 X 10 Instant Camera

It’s a rather boxy beast, lightweight with acceptable image quality. But mostly used as a fun, point and shoot experiment. --John Gee--

 Notes:

There is some vignette at the image plane, but some creative in-the-camera masking or when matting, should take care of that in the not to distant future. Later, there will be added a magnetic tripod mount for stability when needed.

Next, I will once again, be making my handcrafted silver nuclei image receiving sheets (transparencies and paper). This was a long process project…but most revealing.

Take Care All and Good Health.
