Yamasheta 35mm toy camera w/ DIY lens

The Yamasheta is terrible even for a box camera. The rewind button on the bottom of the camera sticks and is a real pain; it ate the first two rolls of film I ran thru it. Interestingly, the lens is removable with out taking apart the camera (it has a clip on the bottom), which I discovered when I dropped the camera and the lens popped off and flew 20 feet away.

 

The DIY lens is made from the lens of a disposable camera taped to an old film cartridge container. When you looked through it, there was a cool macro-fisheye effect going. Unfortunately, none of the pictures taken with the lens developed…
