recesky camera kitLast year, I reveiwed the Minox Rolleiflex MiniDigi AF 5.0 β€œtribute” camera (see related products links at the bottom) that reminded me of the old Imperial Reflex 620 Duo camera my mother had owned.Β  I was very disappointed in the tiny, low-res images captured by that almost $300 toy-like camera.Β  If only ThinkGeek had the Recesky Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit then, I could have saved a lot of money and had a real, working, film camera.Β  With the Recesky kit, you spend about an hour to build the camera.Β  It has a fixed 1/125 sec shutter speed and focuses at 50cm to infinity.Β  Just like the original twin lens reflex camera, you hold it at your waist and look down into the top-mounted viewfinder.Β  You’ll need to supply your own 35mm film; ISO400 is recommended.Β  The Recesky Twin Lens Reflex camera kit is only $29.99.
