This is not about pixel peeping the perfect image, this is about creating something, spending time with it, and exploring alternatives. You won't get that from buying something premade.
~~Haha! You don't need to peep any pixels to see how terrible that camera is.~~
~~I'm just not into Lomo crap. Spend time with a real camera and take good photos. Tinker with your skills as a photographer and not with making toy cameras that you're going to never use again after one roll of film.~~
My bad. I shouldn't have said that.
This project is not for me either, but I will not criticize it nor those that want to build it. You could do that also at no effort or cost to yourself.
Sometimes it's not the end results that matters the most. But rather the journey it took to get there.
You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have said anything. (No sarcasm.)
Just like you're having fun with photographing stuff, others have fun with creating stuff to photograph with. Furthermore, a photo doesn't need to be technically perfect to be good, and different artifacts can create a different feeling in a picture. I have a "perfect" digital camera, as well as an analog one with whacky lenses. For me, the latter is more fun.
I'd suggest getting off your high horse and expanding your horizons.
Yeah, I think you're right. (No sarcasm.) I should keep such opinions to myself. I'm not at all against being a maker for the sake of making, actually. I guess I'm just a camera snob. Calling my criticism "pixel peeping" kinda set me off, and I lashed out, but that's on me. :(
No worries, passions can get the best of us, and we all get enjoyment from different things :)
I have a Canon AE-1 and a Sony a6400, but I use the latter more for practice, especially of long exposures. Unfortunately, the results of the Sony camera don't get close to the satisfaction I get from the Canon ones. The analog pictures are way more often wonky or bad or not perfectly focussed... But they still carry more life in them IMO, with or without editing.
