Wow, apparently the bellows were also colored to match the housing, and they came with accessories like matching compacts.

I’d really like to work on creating a new header and pfp for this blog.

And in recent news, I’ve begun creating a spreadsheet for my camera collection which I will share here when it’s done :)

I’ve had this blog for a really long time. And I want it to continue to grow with me.

Keystone Bel Air K-41 8mm (1956) / x

i have an ancient box camera from the late 40s. takes 120 film. Absolutely unfair good images out of this thing.

This is the 1940s equivalent of a disposable Kodak, it’s terrible but because modern film stock is so fucking good it just rips absolute ass. No I don’t have any pictures they’re scanning shut up.

[transhuman-priestess]

the shutter speed is "yes" and the aperture is "sure, why not"

[transhuman-priestess]

it turns out when you have a negative that's 60x70 mm that you don't really need the world's best glass

#JESUS THAT DYNAMIC RANGE!!!!

Fun fact: This is all on expired lomography metropolis. if it were in-date film it'd look even better. I dont have any in-date metropolis in 120 but i have a roll of it in 35mm that i'm gonna load up once i've finished my current roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200 (cheap color film that looks better than it should)

Here's Catlabs X Film 100 in 35 though, which is kinda similar in terms of range
