So here is a camera almost as old as instant photography itself, with new life given to it by the simple addition of a pack film back.

This particular project was very interesting. Because it lacked a coupled finder, it made the conversion alot easier.

However, the minimalist design of the camera does not allow much room for error, and I think this makes the end product truly original.

The old school styling, along with the new school of instant photography come together in this wonderful piece of engineering.

Now, get back to work!
