Cheap as Chips Challenge! RPF Photo Competition

[Paul Lange]

I recently bought a broken Eyelux Amica for a few pounds and have just finished converting it into a pinhole camera. About the same time I got a cheap Haminex 35 camaera. Not used them yet , can I use one of these??

 

[Hamish Gill]

nope ..
Has to be bought after i posted this thread, else where do i draw the line? eh? tell me that Paul, where would i draw the line!?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

No but you can convert your gas mask into a stereo pinhole camera and use that.

Haha!! Now that's an idea.....

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Another question.... Of course it doesn't matter where you buy it from, does it?

 

[Hamish Gill]

nope
you cant sell a camera cheap to a mate then buy it back though ...

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I mean, eBay, market, etc etc.......

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Cool, no more questions from me...... Right, on the hunt! Lol

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Crikey - there's some right old tat on FleaBay!

 

[Hamish Gill]

so we got a few takers for this one then?
I was hoping we wold have a good uptake on this...
I think it should be quite a lot of fun ...
although im wondering what hope we have when Brian pull stuff like this out the bag

[Hamish Gill]

lol that's why i went for it , looks really unusual ...£2.50 left for film now

 

[Hamish Gill]

That might be harder than you think ...
Out of date film might be a good option, all be a a gamble!

So much of it is luck. As this one was!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Haha!! That is an ugly mother of a camera. Lol. But hey, you my win Davie! Lol

Just got back from the in laws and purchased their old skool 1986 Pentax zoom-70..... For 5 squid!!! Lol.
They haven't used it in years and don't know if it still works. So I'm gonna get some batteries for it, and then I've got 5 squid left for film... Wohhooo!!!

Check it... It's a beast

Will let you know if it works tomorrow
