Here's Where You Can Get Your Hands on This Half-Frame Film Camera

(SPOT.ph) Every snap is important with film cameras. It's both the charm and the risk of these analog devices—especially since rolls don't come cheap, not to mention the cost of the actual hardware and the processing. In the case of half-frame film cameras, however, these will give you double the shots in a single frame, which is like a buy-one-get-one kind of deal per shot; twice the use for one standard roll. Here's where you can get one if you want to try your hand at it: Film Folk. They have Lomography's Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera in their catalog for less than P2,000.

ICYDK, Lomography is also a brand that is dedicated to analog, experimental, and creative photography.

This analog camera ticks all the right boxes. For starters, it's ready to shoot as soon as you turn the wheel. After it stops, take a peek through the viewfinder and press the shutter, and voilà! That's a shot. This one has a flash and a button that activates it. This film camera has two variants: one with black and white and another with color effects. For the latter, there are colored flash filter strips that you can cover the flash with. You can even mix the strips however you want for different color effects.

It's in the name. You get two spliced shots for every frame. The camera is already preloaded with a roll, and one film roll is equal to 72 shots. That's twice as many moments to capture, plus in a vertical look that will be right at home in your Instagram feed.
