  • Proof of Concept

  • At the very end of the last year I bought a used Jollylook instant camera, which is the product of a bizarre Kickstarter project. Surprisingly enough, I got the camera even before some of the Kickstarter backers who invested into the project. My experience...
  • Flash Mode

  • An ideal scenario for party or reporter mode - is when one can (almost) forget about manual controls of the camera. The following setup does it. What I particularly like about the L2Camera design is the ability to combine it with the existing photo gear....
  • Mamiya RB67 Instax Back

  • 潘明丰 designed an awesome Hasselblad Back for Instax mini. Check the video out!It does not require you to salvage an existing Instax Camera, it's completely mechanical, no battery. The awesome part about it its available to download...
  • Instaxino - Instant Camera

  • Instax Wide cameras are affordable plastic instant cameras which produce very sharp pictures with crisp colours and a nice format (62x99mm). But sometimes, I would like to have a little more control on what the camera is doing. E.g. the flash cannot...
  • Spring photos

  • Would like to share some photos I took with the P12 prototype. The first five shots were taken on a sunny day. Instax film has ISO 800, according to the Sunny 16 rule I should use f/16 aperture and 1/800 speed. But Lubitel shutter provides speeds up...

  • The first working prototype

  • Having reverse engineered both the Lubitel camera and studied Instax cartridges, I had got all the necessary information to start designing my camera. I set a couple of guiding principles for myself. Firstly, the design should be comprised of as little...
  • Plastic cameras

  • I created and shared two projects on photo cameras: L2Camera and LR Camera. The first has to do with photo equipment up-cycling and the second one is about fixing. In both projects I aimed to identify the main problem and solve it with the help of 3D...
  • 8. Another very long overdue update

  • It's hard to believe that it's been over two years since the last update to this project. Since then, the Instax TLR has consumed countless film cassettes, and traveled overseas three times (breaking down only once, when the motor driver let out the...
  • 6. Assembly and some initial thoughts

  • The 3D printed parts - the lens shroud and the lens flange - arrived last weekend. I'm very pleased with the quality of the prints from Shapeways. It was my first time using their HP Multijet material. I may never go back to white strong and flexible....
  • Selecting a film developing unit

  • After my proof-of-concept prototype gave reassuring results, I decided to start a full-scale project. At that moment I had a Lubitel camera with well-worn body and a Jollylook camera. These two cameras were supposed to provide all necessary components...
