Disderi Robot 3 some more

Some more pictures from this little fun camera. Has no settings, needs bright light, takes 3 pics at once. Just point and click!

Yashica T5 again

The Yashica T5 (or T4 Super in the US) is a simple point'n'shoot auto camera. However it has a waist level viewfinder that permits shooting from the hip, usefull for street photography. Flash is automatic on start up so it must be switched off with the flash button on top. For distant photos the infinity mode must be selected.

 

The camera has a long shutter lag. It takes some time to focus and then it releases the shutter. So, it needs a very steady hand and some patience, after the shutter button is pressed you must not move the camera, because the picture is not taken yet!

The camera favours short speeds and open apertures, so a fast film is required. I used a 400 ASA film and still had many shaken photos. Exposure is accurate, most of the time.

Here are some samples

Disderi Robot 3, triple fun

 

The Disderi Robot 3 is a simple toy camera made of plastic. It has three lenses and takes three pictures simoultanously. There is only one aperture and shutter speed combination (1/100th and f8?), no focussing is needed. 

It is a very cheap camera, came in a small but pretty box

The Robot 3 needs good light, I loaded a 200 ASA Fujifilm and went out,
here is what I got

Smena -4 some more

Here are some more samples taken with the Smena - 4 and a 100 ASA Fuji film

 Photographing...

Waiting to cross...

 

I pressed 3 times the shutter here at 1/200 and f/16 and made the passengers ghosts

I advanced the film only once, not one and a half times, and got four pictures in two frames, then stiched the scanned photos

This is made of two consecutive frames joined automatically in the computer
