  This is not about pixel peeping the perfect image, this is about creating something, spending time with it, and exploring alternatives. You won’t get that from buying something premade.

    Haha! You don’t need to peep any pixels to see how terrible that camera is.

    I’m just not into Lomo crap. Spend time with a real camera and take good photos. Tinker with your skills as a photographer and not with making toy cameras that you’re going to never use again after one roll of film.

      This project is not for me either, but I will not criticize it nor those that want to build it. You could do that also at no effort or cost to yourself.

      Sometimes it’s not the end results that matters the most. But rather the journey it took to get there.

        You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t have said anything.

      Just like you’re having fun with photographing stuff, others have fun with creating stuff to photograph it. Furthermore, a photo doesn’t need to be technically perfect to be good, and different artifacts can create a different feeling in a picture. I have a “perfect” digital camera, as well as an analog one with whacky lenses. For me, the latter is more fun.

      I’d suggest getting off your high horse and expanding your horizons.

        Yeah, I think you’re right. (No sarcasm.) I should keep such opinions to myself. I’m not at all against being a maker for the sake of making, actually. I guess I’m just a camera snob. Calling my criticism “pixel peeping” kinda set me off, and I lashed out, but that’s on me. :(

  There’s still something to assembling it yourself. Viewed as an educational activity, it easily clears the bar for photo quality.

  Yes you can get better photos by buying something else used, but that doesn’t mean this doesn’t have value.
