Around Ueno with Gakkenflex
This is my 2nd attempt using the Gakkenflex toy camera. Here are some photos taken around Ueno.

More photos taken with this camera here on my flickr page.
I think I'm getting used to this camera. It's difficult to get the films scanned without dirt and dust.

Photos taken with DIY twin reflex camera
Just a few days ago I posted about the DIY dual lens camera here. Here's some successful photos that came out of it.
I used a role of Fujifilm Superia ISO 400. I guess the lens is very slow, so most of my indoor photos were terribly under exposed. The film was developed at a local photo lab which costed 600 yen. Then the developed film strips were scanned and exposures were corrected.
I purposely left the perforations, which I find unique since you can't have those with digital cameras.
You can see more photos taken with this camera on Flickr. Just search for "Gakken flex".

DIY dual lens reflex toy camera
Today I got myself a new toy. It's a DIY dual lens reflex toy camera set called "Gakkenflex". Since it's a DIY toy set, you have to assemble it from plastics parts, screws and springs. After 30 minutes into it, here's what I got.
It uses the typical 35mm film to photograph. The shutter uses a spring, but you have to role the film manually. Unfortunately, I don't have any film to test out this camera. Nevertheless, check out how well it focuses.
Not bad considering the fact that I bought it for 2500 yen. If you want one, it's included in the "Otona no Kagaku" magazine volume 25, or you can order it here.
Updated: See here for photos taken with this camera.
