I've recently created the stupidest camera.

120 film, takes 68 format macro shots.

Body and shutter: a box brownie.

Lens: a broken Canon EF 50mm f/1.8. Which isn't a medium format lens. However, the lens is so far from the film that it should mostly cover the medium format frame.

The obvious side effect of this is the changed focal distance: 51.5mm from lens to subject, which cannot be adjusted.

Aperture: fixed and unknown.

Shutter speed: set by the brownie, so only 1/45 ish or Bulb.

In theory this thing should have excellent image quality (the 50 1.8 is surprisingly nice) and be a nightmare to actually use. Note the almost total lack of exposure control, so I will probably only be able to control exposure with flash or filters, or just having the correct lighting to start with.

The Nightmare at Elm Manor (1961)

[beatleshistoryblog]

LECTURE 18: COMING APART (PART 1): This unusual footage of Yoko Ono having all of her clothing cut up in a performance art exhibition was filmed by brothers Albert and David Maysles, a pair of documentary filmmakers, who shot the footage in Carnegie Recital Hall in New York on March 21, 1965. As one description of the short documentary aptly puts it: “Yoko Ono sits motionless on the concert hall stage, wearing her best suit of clothing, with a pair of scissors placed on the floor in front of her. inviting the audience to come up on stage - one at a time - and cut a bit of her clothes off which they were allowed to keep, covering her breasts at the moment of unbosoming.” The following year, in 1966, Yoko Ono met John Lennon at the Indica Gallery in London, and the two would gravitate closer and closer together.
