"Why" you ask, "Why not" I say. I found this pink beauty at Goodwill for 50 cents and I had to have it. The Disney Princess camera. Toy film camera extreme. I have zero clue as to the camera specs. But here is what I do know. It has a manual flash with a simple on/off switch. Rangefinder slightly off of the lens axis. Lens cap switch (you know so you don't scratch the lens), and it shoots 35mm film.
I loaded her up with a roll of FujiColor Superia Xtra 400 color film and shot a few pictures around the studio, and a few photos as behind the scenes during a recent model shoot. True to it's toy camera status the quality stinks, focus not all that sharp and the flash was a bit of a hit & miss. But hey, I got a few stares.
A few photos.

Found the same camera at a local thrift, gonna see what I can do with it :)
ReplyDeleteI just found one of these cameras at a garage sale, it's so cute but I'm having trouble. I put 35 mm Kodak film in it, wound the gear all the way to the right, new battery, but the counter isn't updating and I can't take pictures. I'm new to film photography. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
