Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit
Learn all about analog photography and create stunning pictures with the Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit from the Maker Shed. This kit offers the perfect balance between novelty, functionality and nostalgia. Two vertically arranged lenses, one for the viewfinder and one for the actual photograph, give this camera a unique appearance. To use, simply assemble the kit then hold the camera against your chest and look down from the top to set the viewfinder. The unique lens setup allows you to take fantastic vertical angle pictures. Uses standard 35mm film.

BY Maker Shed

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .

  2. Is there a version out there somewhere that does 120?
