Argsko experiment
Longtime viewers may remember the tragic story of Rosko, still the best toy camera results I've ever gotten.
Somewhere or other I picked up a lens-shutter assembly for an Argus FA. (Did someone get it from the Argus repair parts at Huron Camera?) I had the brainwave it might be interesting to attach it to the lensless Rosko body, where the image diagonal would be about 40% greater than what that lens is "supposed to" cover. Here's a first test shot.
These are put together in a very quick hacky way just to test the concept. At the moment it will only focus at (almost) infinity; or with closeup attachment lenses at 1–3 feet. I'm pondering a more permanent solution.
