5 Frames… With a Lumenbox lens and Rollei Retro 400S (35mm format / EI 400 / Voigtlander Bessa L)

I think that I first stumbled upon Jorge Otero’s wonderful little Lumenbox on Etsy when I was searching for pinhole cameras. The Lumenbox is very much not a pinhole camera. It uses a simple meniscus lens to achieve a wonderful swirly distortion that I was immediately entranced with. 5 Frames… With a Lumenbox lens and […]

The latter was shot in midsummer Maltese sunshine, but did come out basically black OR white! This made me wonder if […]
