Can't afford a Holga and want to take art shots with a junk store camera? Grab your Aunt Ethel's Kodak Instamatic, reload by smooshing in a roll of 35mm film, and get the distorted images you've only dreamed about until now. Reloading a Kodak Instamatic can be done even if you don't have an old 126 plastic cartridge to use. If you do have an old 126 cartridge, see my Instamatic Retro Instructable. With the 135 method you will get bizzare alignments, light leaks, strange distortions, double reflections off the cardboard. You name it. This is freedom time. Stop reading if you are looking for obsessively perfect photos. This is all about happy accidents of light and exposure. This draft version has weird and almost useless photos because I couldn't find my good camera. Don't go OMG UR PHOTOS R WACK I know this. I will fix em later. Likewise if you are a maniacal perfectionist, please do not tell me about your scheme to reload 126 cameras with handmade film. I just do not care. Make your own Instructable and promote it. Best wishes and all that. Thanks -- *wipes head* -- Okay here we go if you are still with me.
