Four Five Two, Jazz Jelly 207

Posted at 6:05 pm | Filed Under film, journal

Shot with a Jazz Jelly 207, fairly high-tech as plastic cameras go. Integral lens cover, built-in flash, small enough to fit in your pocket. Classic plastic wide-angle lensed-goodness, fixed shutter speed. Shoot ISO 200 speed film outdoors. Flash is good for 10 feet if you’re lucky (and shooting ISO 400 speed film). This roll came […]

Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy a Holga, Diana or a Lubitel? Does anyone have a favorite, obscure medium […]

This pic came off the first test roll from my Vivitar IC 100, a $1 plastic camera I picked up recently. It’s pretty standard looking.
