I am a vintage camera collector. I love the old look and feel of those film cameras. One of these cameras I had purchased for very cheap. A Kodak Pocket 1A folding camera. It was, for the most part, a damaged camera. The body was falling to pieces. The lens and bellows, on the other hand, were in great condition.
I decided to put those to good use. I cut the camera from the body and attached a Canon EOS adapter ring to the back end. Now I was able to place the 1A front on my Canon 7d. The images are remarkably clean and relatively sharp (albeit low in contrast). It's focal length is 130mm, therefore, on my 7d's crop sensor it is a 208mm. The neat part is that its not just telephoto, but also macro. The bottom images are examples of this in action. They were processed using Lightroom 4 and Color Efex 4.
