Having lusted over vintage TLR cameras for a while now, I’ve so far managed to avoid spending absurd amounts on a Rolleiflex or Lomo Lubitel. Luckily, last night, I stumbled upon the Blackbird. Made by Japanese toy-camera company, this plastic TLR is unique for a few reasons. First, it’s made entirely of plastic, so I expect the images will be similar to those shot with a Diana+ or Holga. Secondly, it seems to be the first exclusively 35mm TLR, with frame masks included to create either standard images (24mm x 36mm), square images (24mm x 24 mm) or a complete frame, sprocket holes an’-all.
