A coworker and i have been making a lot of 3d paper crafts around here so when he came across this and shared it with me i got a little excited. We're both craft people that also do photography so it's the best of both worlds. The fact that it actually works with film makes it fantastic! Thought you guys might be curious as well.

    That looks crazy! I'd love to try it, just don;t think I'd ever get around to it.

    Thanks for sharing

    i printed it out on cardstock and it seems really small... hopefully it does work. I'll post pictures if i do.

    Thinking i might install some funky lenses

    Hey, it's a pin-hole camera, so it should work (it's only physics, after all!)

    When I lived in the UK (back in the mid '70s), Hasselblads were all the rage, and were "The Camera" to have hanging around your neck; so some bright spark devised a knitting pattern which when knitted up had the same dimensions as the real-thing, so if you couldn't afford the real thing (who could?), you could get your loving granny/mum/auntie/sister/wife to knit you up a nice woolly 500C and be the envy of all your friends down at the local Photography Club.

    I'm still looking for the pattern…

    I've saved the PDF and plan to put my photography classes to work on it this fall. So much more fun than simply painting a box! thumb.gif

    OMG this is hilarious. I should get my friend to knit this for me, it'll be a nice break from socks and sweaters!

    I think that it would be perfect for those who want the photographer to shoot for free. :D
