Custom-Made Cameras

One Man's Struggle to Create a Homemade SLR Camera

Everyone should have a dream, a goal, something to aspire to (for me right now, I'm giving up chocolate for a month--tough times), for one French man, it was to build a homemade SLR camera.

Quite the endeavor, he waited 25 years to fulfill this dream. Finally acquiring the tools and knowledge to do it, he started and finished creating a one-of-a-kind homemade SLR camera. I suggest you read his account via the link below, it's pretty crazy.
