Vietnamese shop crafts brilliant wooden camera models with interchangeable lenses

To You It is Stoopid, to me it is Creative to have one of these works of Art, Hey let ask you something, If Ansel Adams was still Alive, (Yea I know he would be OLD) But would you ask him to get rid of his View Camera that he use in his famous photo - "Moonrise Over Hernandez", and Get a Sony A7III??? Would you say that to him??? And what would prove to say to a Photographer that has been doing photography through most of his Life as I have been doing photography for 50 years, would you say that to a person like that??? Respect the artists....

I LOVE this idea, I would mind having the Nikon Model, and place, and display it right next to my Photography books. I say BRAVO!!! Even a web site called Photography Supply is also bringing back their Wooden Models, and wouldn't mind having the Polaroid SX70 model....

I have to give the maker that, when looking closely, there are lots of authentic details. Good work! But, the whole impression is quite ugly, just as it usually are with wooden imitations of cameras. They are almost always made of layers of plywood. And, it can never give the right impression.

I take it that in the first picture above, another wooden camera was used to take it. But I cannot tell from the two cameras in that picture which is the wooden one. They are so alike.

No doubt we can expect DPR to review that model and give it a walnut award. They like such rubbish.

Tony Northrup says this product line is dead wood, and needs to be pruned.

Dec 8, 2021permalink

Oh Yeah, Well Then I really STOP watching him, and his Wife that gets the Camera History WRONG! So all I can say to Tony, Alex is not listening, and Alex does not Care, and lastly all you people that do not like the idea of person making camera models that you are ALL NOT TRUE SHOOTERS, So Tony, and others that all of you go "F" Yourself...

I do not know why you listen to this person as Northrup thinks that he knows photography, and his Winny Wife that wants to shoot fast flash synch Hey Lady Get a Hasselblad it synch's at all speeds. This couple do not know photography since they read off the Ipad's, like they know - bull. I do not Shoot RAW, I do not Rely of ISO dial, I use P Mode. WHY ARE THEY ON AIR ON YOU TUBE since their are more Young YouTubers are using MORE FILM SHOOTING Answer me that ....

These cameras have a bird inside that carves out your pictures on a slate like they did for Fred Flintstone.

The makers understand the little pleasures of life and followed their artisan's hearts to share that feeling. Love it !!

There is also a maths tutor on Pornhub (no porn, but spam words) and he got enough money to pay off his debt.
