CountryfriedrockLooking for a pocket camera--not a phone--for a hiking trip. Suggestions for lightweight one w/ decent photos but not too expensive, something above a disposable camera, unless those are somehow decent compared to 1990. #camera #pocketCamera #recommendations #travel #disposableCameras #leica #nikon #canon #polaroid #pocketSized #pointAndShoot #fujiFilm #photo #photos #photograph #photographs #TakeAPicture #rem #Cuyahoga #souvenir

petapixel (unofficial)Kodak Unveils New Disposable Camera Loaded with TRI-X 400 Film
Kodak Alaris has announced the Kodak Professional TRI-X 400TX single-use camera, which comes pre-loaded with 27 exposures of Kodak's more popular black and white film stocks.
Kodak Alaris is a British-based manufacturer and retailer of photography supplies that range from hardware and software for the digital imaging space to retail printing kiosks. The company is actually a co-owner of the Kodak brand with the Eastman Kodak Company that is based out of New York and is also known under the "Kodak Moments" branding that provides photo products and services to retailers, consumers, and entertainment properties.
Disposable cameras are becoming popular again, and multiple brands from Ilford to Fujifilm have released new versions in recent months. Kodak Alaris manufactures a range of film and disposable cameras, including a standard model, outdoor-focused model, "fun" focused model, and even a waterproof version.
The latest addition is the 400TX single-use camera, which the company says brings the world's best-selling black and white film and makes it "more accessible than ever." The TRI-X 400 film requires a traditional black and white film development process, either in a home darkroom or at a photo lab that offers a dedicated black and white service.
The camera features a double aspheric lens element and a built-in flash that automatically recharges and comes pre-loaded with 27 exposures of a film that Kodak says is known for its contrast, tonality, and classic grain structure. Kodak says that the fine grain is good for producing high-quality images and the wide exposure latitude is ideal for achieving rich tonality which is maintained with overexposed and underexposed photos.
Kodak Professional TRI-X 320 and 400 Films are high-speed panchromatic films that are a good choice for photographing dimly lighted subjects or fast action, for photographing subjects that require good depth of field and fast shutter speeds, and for extending the distance range for flash pictures.
The film is 400 ISO, the lens is a fixed 30mm f/10 full-plastic optic, and the camera shoots with a fixed shutter speed of 1/125 second. The camera can focus from 3.3-feet to infinity, weighs 138 grams, and the flash can be turned on and off via a one-touch switch (and is powered by a single AA battery).
Kodak Alaris does not say how much the camera is expected to cost, however, and tells PetaPixel that it does not set the prices of its products. Instead, these are set by dealers and retailers globally, and that as a result, the price varies based on region.

hackaday unofficialDIY Wigglegram Camera Lens Sends a Message to Big Photo
Have you ever heard of a wigglegram? They are made by shooting multiple pictures at once using multiple lenses, and the the resulting stitched-together 'gram is kind of a gif version of a stereographic image. It looks 3D, and it -- well, it wiggles. The ones with a boomerang effect (i.e. a good loop) are especially prized.
Wigglegrams are often produced with Nishika quadrascopic cameras, which have naturally climbed in price to address the growing demand. Nishikas have four lenses and create four separate half-frame images by splitting the four photos across two frames of film. In contrast, [Joshua]'s DIY eye uses three plastic lenses from disposable film cameras to put three images onto a single frame of film.
The only real drawback is that the camera has to be close to the subject because the three lenses are so tightly packed. Another drawback is that there is no viewfinder while using this lens. There have to be divider walls between the three lenses to keep the images separate, and these walls have to extend all the way into the camera body. The Canon A-1's viewfinder mirror does not allow for this, so [Joshua] pushed it up out of the way.
[Joshua]'s initial design approach to finding the ideal lens distance from the film plane was to do a bunch of calculations, but he ended up Goldilocks-ing it and iterating a bunch of times until it was just right. If you have a Canon SLR and want to build one of these, you're in luck as far as the STLs go.
What else can you do with a bunch of old disposable cameras? Build your own flash, of course.
