    Survey: Non-traditional cameras

    MTB Brian and I were gushing about our various Holgas in an email, so we thought it would be fun to see who has some non-traditional, toy, or old-fashioned cameras lurking behind their megapixel mania!

    So give it up - list time!

    Mine:
    Holga from Sailor Gerry
    Holgaroid
    Custom Holga from Randy
    2 Holgas with flash
    Diana
    Diana clone
    cardboard pinhole
    Panda plastic camera
    2 keychain spy cameras
    An Agfa - snap, forgot the name of it
    Several Brownies
    Old Polaroid kit
    a couple 620's
    Kodak instamatic (my first camera!)
    And a couple other flea market finds.

    And you?

    I have a 110 Playschool camera that looks like one of those boom boxes that come with Jeep Wranglers, and Jamcam, and a Kodak Disc camera. I also have a Minolta 35mm P&S with no manual control whatsoever.

    A Holga You Don't Have...

    I have a "PinHolga", a version you don't have!
    ;)
    As well as two modified Holga's from Randy, www.holgamods.com (The ONLY place I buy my Holga's from anymore!)
    And my first Holga, unmodified...

    I have a blue one. I picked it up at the dollar store and there is no name on it. They have red ones, and black ones, and yellow ones too!!

    Re: Survey: Non-traditional cameras

    well, i've had various nontraditional cams including an oatmeal-container pinhole, but the one i'm working on right now is the AstroCam I think it's called. It's a model rocket with a 110 camera built into the nose cone. had it for years, but never finished it...

    DOH!
    You most certainly did my friend!
    I forgot you had one of those!
    I some how overlooked it!

    OK, so MOST of the above mentioned items use film then!
    MOST!
