Are there certain #Zenit cameras with an #M42 mount that are not advisable or which are particularly recommendable for a budget of around 50€? It would be hard to justify to spend more than that just for the #CrappyCommieCameraParty

Not a #folderweek post but definetely a #shittycamerachallenge one:
This happens when you forget to extend the lens from its storage position

Here's another shot from the first roll through the Pho-Tak Traveler box camera. It shows some exposure variation on the left side of the frame. Is this shutter lag? If you have insights, please let me know in the comments. #photography #landscape #monochrome #BelieveInFilm #ShittyCameraChallenge #Connecticut #PhoTak

@badnetmask Smallish SD cards are needed for old ("vintage") gear, e.g., for #shittycamerachallenge
Sell them off for cheap eBay - at least it will make someone happy.
Here's another shot from my first roll with the Pho-Tak Traveler 120, a mid-twentieth-century fixed focus camera with an f 11 lens and a shutter speed of 1/50 second. I don't usually trouble people with photo equipment details, but this junk store camera is a no frills hoot. #photography #monochrome #wildlife #ShittyCameraChallenge #Connecticut #PhoTak
A friend gave me a mid-twentieth century Pho-Tak Traveler box camera, which I promptly loaded with film and took to my favorite beach. This deer passed by me in a small herd of young ones, so I took the shot. #photography #ShittyCameraChallenge #monochrome #wildlife #Connecticut #BelieveInFilm #PhoTak
Apparently a lethal combination - a roll that produced pretty much nothing usable Diana F+ Washi B&W, ISO 100

A friend who had been using this 1950s junk store camera as a stash box gifted it to me. The Pho-Tak "Time" Traveler has a shutter speed of 1/50 of a second and an f stop of 11. The lens is a simple meniscus. I shot a roll of CineStill BWxx and a roll of CineStill 400D. If anything comes of it, I will let you know. #photography #ShittyCameraChallenge #Pho-Tak
Inspired by the profile photo of user @rholas, I found my parents' camera. According to the website https://www.ceskefotoaparaty-flexaret.cz/corina/ it is a Corina 1 version 2 model made by Druopta. The shutter works, but I will have to reattach the red circle windows on the back wall. I think I have qualified for the #ShittyCameraChallenge 
Now I just need to put Fomapan 100 inside and we will see. #CorinaCamera #BelieveInFiIm #film120

@rasterweb That looks like a #ShittyCameraChallenge kids cam with a thermal printer?

Gave both sides of the QuickCam’s lens a bit of a clean, and that really seemed to help lower the levels of potato-ness.
But the filter in front of the sensor is a bit bleurgh too. But it's nighttime and these things never were great in low light.
It very definitely gives that 90s feel…
All in all, very pleased with this silly little arrival :D

It’s got cataracts that need clearing out, but the colour quickcam works with the 6200! Even in the QuickTime video conferencing program! AppleTalk video calls, here we come

I've been playing with a small thermal printer camera and the results are SO fun!
