Hi all,

The purple one has talked to me about these in the past and seeing as it's her birthday mid-August, I was thinking about getting her one.

Does anyone have any experience with these? I was thinking about getting her the 120 camera, but I'm wondering if the 35 would be more cost effective for her...
She has a couple of 35mm Lomography cameras that she doesn't use that often, so I'm wondering if this would be the same...

And opinions on the product/technique would be great, as I don't really have a clue what I'm looking at...
I'm also wondering if they are made of metal, if it would be thick enough to get it engraved, as that would be nice.

Thanks all

Ben

I've not seen those before. Interesting idea! Would she thank you for buying a 120 camera with more expensive medium format film? :D

As for your questions about what they are made of, etc, why not contact the manufacturer direct? There's a Contact page on their website - they should be able to help you out.

Ooh those do look interesting. Haven't seen one before.
Just a quick thought though - this strikes me as being something you'll ever never put down or it'll be used a few occasions and forgotten about. It's quite a specific usage and technique. With that in mind, I'd say get the 35mm. It might get used more often - looking at the loading and usage instructions, I'd rather get it wrong a few times while I'm learning on a roll of 35mm than 120.

If you're keen to go into 120 in a fun way, think about a 120 Holga. Yes, they're plastic, have variable build quality. Lens quality varies, f-stops vary, and you may find some individual light leaks. But, I'm told, that's all part of the charm.

Personally, if I ever get into 120 format, it'll be with a Mamiya. Or that's the plan.

She uses a medium format camera a fair amount, but then she's been wanting the affects of using it as part of her project, so a blender might be different


I emailed, and they replied:




I think 35mm might be a safer option then, cheaper all round, I know she always has a load of b&w 35mm film sitting in the fridge (which always amuses me).

Finally, after badgering Faye for the last nine months or so, I've got some of her photos and (with thanks to Paul) popped them up on her web site.
Here are some of the results, they are all 35mm using that blender camera:

Some of the Welsh Ruin photos were exhibited down in London over the Easter break
They are supposed to reflect dreams, day dreams and lost memories...But I think they just look pretty...
