DIY camera takes Lomo-like photographs

If the thought of making your own camera sounds ludicrous, perhaps this DIY camera that was made out laser-cut acrylic parts and scavenged lenses may change your mind. If fact, Kit Man of Kit Da Studio is even providing the AI template file that he used, so that you could cut out your own camera if you chose to.

If you're thinking this is just some silly disposable-type camera, you would be wrong. In fact, it's pretty darn advanced! It's advanced to the point where it actually features interchangeable lenses; interchangeable camera backs for different film types, bulb and normal shutter modes, and even a frame counter! Of course some other parts had to be sourced from elsewhere, but nothing that you would have to go out of your way for, all that is required is just a little resourcefulness.

The process is pretty detailed, so if you're interested in checking out how the project got started all the way until the end, head on down to Kit Da Studio's website. Below are some photographs that were taken using the KDS-POTO2, photos that should make Lomo fans pretty jealous.
