Great Project Love The Finished Camera

I first built 2 of the pinhole cameras that use the regular Instax mini film. I thought I would like the square one also. Jollylook is a great company. I needed a part because I messed one up, and they sent me 2. Taking pictures with the camera is so much fun, getting use to the shutter is a learning experience. If your into photography you must build one of these cameras to appreciate how the old photographers had to figure out. I love these cameras!!!!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Larry! It's great to hear that you've enjoyed building and using our pinhole camera. Your enthusiasm is contagious—I'm sure other photography enthusiasts will be inspired to try building one of these cameras too. Happy shooting!

The package arrived very quickly. The do-it-yourself camera fully meets expectations. A great idea! I'm looking forward to a DIY camera with a lens! A box camera would be a wonderful addition to the portfolio.

Thank you for your kind review, Martin! We're thrilled to hear that our DIY Pinhole SQUARE Instant Film Camera Kit met your expectations and arrived quickly. We love the idea of a DIY camera with a lens and will definitely consider adding a box camera to our portfolio. Happy shooting!
