The Yellow camera
I have a strong affinity for the colour yellow and thought that I might want to have a camera that colour, you know to blend in. I chose the Pentax 120SW for a couple of reasons: I liked the idea of trying out the 28mm wide end of this camera, It was cheap, It’s a Pentax and Pentax has released yellow camera’s most notably the recent K-01
So once I have my victim camera and paint, I disassembled it and masked off any areas I didn’t want to be yellow. You know areas like the viewfinder.
I just used spray paint from the local hobby store that you would use on a model car or plane or camera or something similar
Then after somewhat careful re-assembly (No extra bits left over)
Are you my mother?
OK so that amused me for a few minutes but did the camera still take pictures? Well yes and no. Yes it still takes pictures but I’ve introduced a small light leak, that could easily be found and fixed but that may not be worth my time or any more film. It’s just not much of a camera to get excited over. Yes the 28mm wide end is an interesting focal length but the Pentax EW24 is wider and ultimately a better camera. So if your wondering did this fix my yellow camera yearning, not in the least I just need to find a better victim.
And now for something completely familiar
