But if we simplify and break the problem down it’s totally plausible that we could make a usable, if not a little scrappy, camera. Certainly the early pioneers of the craft were often forced to make their own equipment before they could even get started making pictures.<br/><br/>There’s good prior art here. There is a large community of 3D printing camera makers who have a lot of novel designs that they’re sharing. But most of the designs depend on a pre-existing collection of cheap vintage lenses. And… for better or worse they’re plastic and feel it. 2026-02-26T16:29:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstvmw3nfed889npg7u34nz4qntlwvg6fjgkxwh84sgc6q4vdtasvgzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gwqa2jt7 Okay anarchist camera manufacturers! I suggest we start small. If we are going to make every part on the camera the most challenging part will be the lens. So we start with a simple meniscus single element lens. <br/><br/>My recommendation is we produce a 6x6 medium format fixed lens viewfinder camera with a helicoid mounted 80mm f4.5 single meniscus lens with a simple leaf shutter (maybe single speed 1/100?) film winding with a red window system.<br/><br/>This would be a lot like a holga in essence but would offer a lot of challenges. Hell, if all you do is machine the body from aluminum and use a glass lens you’ll be lot nicer than a holga :)<br/><br/>Scaling up difficulty:<br/>- Add a proper lens - 4 element tessar would be nice<br/>- proper shutter with speeds from 1s-1/500<br/>- Ratchet winding<br/>- Rangefinder<br/><br/>If you got all that working tackle interchangeable lenses.<br/><br/>Long term the killer will be quality lens construction. I know you can get custom glass ground for not too much, but modern lenses are cemented, with floating elements, and coatings. And that’s ignoring knowing a damn thing about optics! 2026-02-26T04:48:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8vmdq42gd9jmr27qyf4pkuz63ga4yndut82r76p0m6tylarfx66gzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gwjcyxac In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg9zrfpaj4svg38lwg6cs59zwmrfaft37x56ncuq39w2lpfa65mkqqvqslt'>nevent1q…qslt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Can’t even get started unless we have a manifesto… 2026-02-25T23:23:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2zupalfcftdjfjea25kfr04velqrwgq0makp5g840vyvdyn0wf4czypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gw5nqccc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdey9k5mseadyed3whuxhl9zt862rrg7mns4v3qvksveg0wmtkyaq4gpexk'>nevent1q…pexk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>okay so who wants to make some anarchist cameras with me?! 2026-02-25T23:16:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdhm8nm43g8y2r7hzgeepnyp588tkft994cdj45v3cjyn4r5rr33gzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gwxxuyvt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy5c4v9dlzuy8pr66xc8zeeh6qpul2r3sh2tcgw0q38ss3kyuwyvcuf8mng'>nevent1q…8mng</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah but more smiley and less guns and more cameras! 2026-01-29T23:30:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrgejyeld7e493d2h29ql56whcdxvfqwqvj8vd8m2xx5jc69nqe3gzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gwecmdfc A few weeks ago I posted an ad for a large tripod to better support my new 8x10 camera.

It is, one the one hand, a refutation of AI slop, and on the other a much more interesting discussion looking to answer the question: “How did we end up in a world where anyone wants AI slop in the first place!”. Unsurprisingly, the answer he comes to is that nobody fucking cares.<br/><br/><a href="https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-05-23-who-cares/">https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-05-23-who-cares/</a><br/><br/>And this idea that nobody cares, it crystallized a thing that I had increasingly struggled with at work on computers. The idea of an “mvp” to test ideas had mutated into a world where quality didn’t matter, just get the next test of a feature out and see if it sticks, shit can it tomorrow if people aren’t using it, next!<br/><br/>And maybe it starts to answer a little bit about why print making has appealed so much to me. This is an endeavor where the only thing that matters is caring. There is no version of an AI slop hand made print that matters. The only part of this process that matters is that I made it, and I cared. 🤔<br/><br/>I think a LOT about returning to work. It would make a lot of sense! The world is kind of scary right now and having some income would buy us some financial stability. I like working with people and my current world can be a little lonely. But the idea of going back to work on human slop just fills me with dread.<br/><br/>I think I’d be really excited about working with a small team on something that mattered, with the time to pour our caring into it. But I’m not sure that job exists in our society, and I’m not sure I know how to make it. 2025-05-28T16:21:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0243g9r4d45pn4fjpd6czyxvg8t88sa02c6kkf9c8fe32avqwnmqzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gw5adyqe In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrd697sw95m6r99m7p6jqqs35sf0k6spjq8dznvcnp3vdhs23afzszysffw'>nevent1q…sffw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looks like you’re almost there!

But I do dislike my brains ability to seek out the comfort of checking the news for the 30th time in a day instead of being a little bit bored.<br/><br/>About a month ago I banished my phone to charging outside of my bedroom and it’s been nice. I’m bored in the morning, I sometimes fall back asleep, I think about my day and day dream. With a phone nearby it calls to my bored brain.<br/><br/>I think I want more of that peace and so looking for ways to distance myself from the phone more and more. 2025-04-07T16:23:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdu7dwc0z5jllzj0emm2jdydr7xf3dvcwkuemhjdwz5d8w93cwgjczypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gw5qunfj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrmjt9jtnkrmdejrnaz3vrsj0nmevkye0tzfrf05a673zp0hdtewqcfxsg3'>nevent1q…xsg3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes! There are contradictions at the heart of it!<br/><br/>But i think there needs to be balance, and too often when my mind is bored it reaches out to the little dopamine device. The cheap and free tiny spark of joy eating into the more enduring and powerful joy that comes from hard work. Or at least the creative spark of boredom.<br/><br/>So I’m trying to reign it in, maybe I’ll try allocating some specific time during the day for this stuff so I can lock my phone away and feel bored other parts of the day :) 2025-04-07T15:53:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0p6kkd8hlt3snzp9lprvr7ckae4yzt30hxanlx5khs7f56z4gghgzypz4m5vujs8q6wrwtzzv7m42cj8yrrkxvdu9v30ncravy8wket2gw5vk3tk I’ve been slowly, successfully, waging a war with my phone. It’s not that I consider all of my time on my phone bad. My most dominant use is for engaging with communities I care about. But at the same time I see it stealing my focus and time away from activities I care deeply about.<br/><br/>I think the thing I fear the most about just dropping it entirely is the loss of my online communities. I work from home, and I think that during the day I’ll get lonely 😰. Simultaneously I know that in person relationships are more powerful and enduring (sorry online friends!).
