This is cheating right?
Here I've decided to do the project on a 1916 Kodak Autographic 3A Special. You need a camera with some sort of bellows, or a focusing lens apparatus. For instance, I would really love to convert a Kodak Instamatic, but it's got no adjustable lens or bellows, and the back is so small that it would look rather awkward after modification. A significant part of the experience is the joy of going out and using the modified vintage camera. Plus it gives the camera a "second life". Its previous owner might have put but a few dozen rolls through it at the most, unless his name was Gary Winogrand, however, you'll be able to shoot a few thousand free exposures digitally. I think it's better than just ripping off the lens and mounting it onto a Micro 4/3, or letting it collect fungus on a shelf. This camera was originally purchased at the now closed Photographer's Place in Manhattan's Soho district for $45 in the 1990?s. PetaPixel | Read the Full Article
