Wow! This is really impressive. I would love to make one. I got the plans to open, but will their be a parts list or a way to see step by step instructions in Bricksmith?

Hi, I copied and modified your design a bit, and posted some photos of the camera on my blog (post of 9th february), along with some photos taken with it. Thanks !

Just wanted to clear things up–I’m not the same Adrian as the Adrian who made this camera. Also, my email server is down and losing messages so if you want to put together some building instructions send email to adeabroad-[AT]-hotmail- dot-[I'm so sick of SPAM]-com.

To clear up any confusion for PC users, these aren't Bricksmith files per se--they're LDRAW format .ldr files. They can be viewed with numerous free PC software packages, many of which are available from ldraw.org

Also, I wanted to mention that those LEGO springs don't provide a lot of tension--a rubber band pulling a rod with a catch against gear teeth achieves a nice effect: nospring.jpg.

Also, rubber bands can be used for a good shutter using a similar principle--have the shutter pulled closed with a strong band, then "tripped" open with a push-down shutter which is spring returned to the up position.

Email me if you want help making instructions for this thing...

Try right clicking on the link and selecting “save linked file as.” The file that it downloads should upen in Bricksmith.

Hello Adrian, I think all this is fantastic, I’m a design student and I’m going to graduate with a thesis about handmade cameras, I’m doing it right now. So I’m very interested to keep in touch with you and I’m already ebaying to find all the lego pieces. Any help is appreciated If you know some other ingenious handmade camera please let me know!

It would be really nice if someone could put this in to lego’s digital designer for us pc users.
