What&#8217;s the loot this time?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally the elusive Tolne camera is on their shelves! Was torn between the green and blue but decided on the blue one because the green one is a little too bright for this old fella. No &#8230; don&#8217;t you dare ask why didn&#8217;t I buy all 4 colors! I asked Cindy at the shop and was told that this plastic toy camera has everything. Everything? Huh? She told me that not only it has built-in flash, it can do multi-exposures &#8230; and even give photos with exposed sprocket holes. Huh? For real?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc7\/Tolne1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking at the content of the package &#8230; it comes with 3 filters for some fun photos (the packaging says &#8216;TAKE A FUNNY PICTURE&#8217;. Hmmm!). There is a fog (blur?) filter, a &#8216;triple&#8217; filter (those that gives you triple images) and one that gives you sepia tone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc7\/Tolne2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Look at the photo above. Hahaha! See that little filter that has some &#8216;sprocket holes&#8217; on it? Hahaha! Oh yeah! That&#8217;s how you get photos with exposed sprocket holes! Cute! Problem is you can&#8217;t remove and install this filter while you have film loaded in the cam. Still pretty cute. I do wonder if you let the lab scan the photos, will the guy crop off the sprocket hole areas and leave you with some tiny frame that resembles those from a 110 camera. Hmm &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from also picking up a pack of the Lomography&#8217;s new Redscale XR film, I also bought a cool TLR-looking pencil sharpener. I do not really need it but Fitzand does. Let me share a weird story with you. Last night was the first time Fitzand wanted to try sharpening his pencil and we had only a small sharpener. You know &#8230; those little ones that you need to keep turning and turning? He took about 10 minutes trying to sharpen the pencil and I was sitting there staring at how determined he was &#8230; trying to do it himself. I told him that I&#8217;ll get him a sharpener that makes sharpening pencils easier &#8230; and then I took a photo of him (struggling with the pencil sharpener) and sent it to Cindy (from ThirtySix). Fitzand asked me &#8230; &#8216;Buy new sharpener? From which shop?&#8217;. I immediately got a reply from Cindy saying that &#8230; a few minutes ago she was just talking to Noreen (her partner&#8217;s talented girlfriend) that &#8230; &#8216;only ndroo will buy the sharpener&#8217;. OMG! What timing! It was really weird and I had a good laugh. Okay &#8230; so I bought it &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc7\/Deli1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hope the weekend comes faster and I can go try out a roll or two on the Tolne camera. Oh &#8230; I just showed the sharpener to a colleague and she asked me &#8216;Hey &#8230; what happened to the camera? Lens broken?&#8217;. Hahahaha!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I think I should just bring bread to work and stay in the office for lunch. \ud83d\ude41 Made a short trip to ThirtySix and ended up with more damages to my (already badly torn) wallet.
