I’ve been thinking about this for years but I finally took the time to build a medium format LEGO camera.\u00a0 What made the effort all the more desirable was that I was recently given the perfect lens for the project, A Schneider Kreuznach Angulon 65 f6.8.\u00a0 It’s hard to say how wide this will end up being but the negative is about\u00a09 Lego bricks wide so it should be about the equivalent of a 28mm on a 35mm film camera.\u00a0 Lego is not inherently light tight, every seam is a light leak, so I used some black paper inside to keep that down.\u00a0 The lens board was held in place by some light sealing material, otherwise known as tape, and elastics.\u00a0 This provided for a “very accurate” focus mechanism provided you have your eyes closed.\u00a0 There actually was no focus I\u00a0had previously ground a small piece of glass and used\u00a0it to\u00a0roughly determine that the lens board should be about 67mm from the film for infinity focus.\u00a0 If your getting the sense that I’m not really sure of the results then your right.\u00a0 I will send the film off and wait a week just to find out if it worked and how badly the light leaked.\u00a0 I hope I’m pleasantly surprised but if I keep my expectations low then it will be easier to exceed them.<\/p>\n
