Commie Camera: And the winner is…..

winner

Thanks for everyone who entered the competition to win a commie camera.  We were genuinely humbled by the response we got.

We felt a bit sorry for the Vilia, nobody really wanted it apart from a few, so it looks like it will be staying in my cupboard for a bit longer!

The judging process was a long and arduous affair, with many cups of coffee consumed, but we have our winner:

Zenit-E. I want to teach my daughter photography the way I learned photography … full-manual, mechanical, film and a lot of trial & error. My problem is that I no longer have any cameras that are only mechanical and full manual. Winning the Zenit-E would allow me to pass on the great tradition of film photography with classic equipment.

Well done Dante, we will contact you shortly about your prize!  I really hope you don’t live in Australia!!

Thanks again everyone for your entries, we hope you enjoyed Commie Camera Day as much as we all did!  We laughed a whole lot at your entries, and even scratched our head at some (Why does ‘Yury’ have ‘Steve’ in his email address!!).

And remember, we have an even better competition running at the moment:

You have a chance to win ANY holga camera you want!

How to make Cog-Pano’s on your Holga

First things first. The image above was shot on my Holga, and I only manipulated digitally by way of turning it black & white and adding my copyright symbol. Otherwise, this is shown exactly as it was shot, with the image stretching its way across the film plain in a nice wide panoramic and covering [...]
