If you have read my earlier blog entry about my attempt to assemble the Last Camera … you will probably know that I almost screwed up when I was working on the lens assembly. I messed up the elements and had to buzz Jimmy (from ThirtySix<\/a>) to help check which was the 2nd and 3rd lenses in the package. I had to pray real hard when he told me the answer … as I was worried he might be drinking beer when he replied me. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Anyway … I was very eager to burn a roll of film to test if I got the lens assembled right … and so I fed the camera with a roll of long expired Fujifilm Press 800 film and randomly fired some shots on my way to work the last few days. Well … I was just testing if I got it assembled properly … so of course you will see super duper ultra random crappy shots here.<\/p>\n

When I scanned the first frame from this test roll … I went ‘Whoooa!!! That’s pretty darn sharp!!!’. Well I was expecting something more ‘Holga-ish’ … and the results proved me wrong. You might see the sides are a little ‘dreamy’ though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Frankly … til now I do not know what’s the actual aperture and shutter speed values. I don’t seem to see those info in the manual … so I took a risk and used ISO800 film since it wasn’t sunny at all on my way to work.<\/p>\n

Not too bad ain’t it? It somehow reminds me of the Vivitar UWS camera.<\/em><\/p>\n

These were shot using the 22mm lens. I haven’t got time to try out the 45mm one. Guess I’ll have to go out and shoot on a hot hot day to try get better photos.<\/p>\n

Oh … by the way … I did try out the ‘light leak switch’. Maybe Mr. Sunlight wasn’t bright enough to give me any hint of light leak in these photos because I did open up the ‘switch’ in many of these shots.<\/p>\n

So is the Last Camera worth buying? Hmm … I’d say a big ‘yes!’ for the DIY fun part … and a ‘pretty good’ for its ‘performance’.<\/p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
