The LEGO ZH1 camera has been designed by Zung92 as a functional piece of building block photography equipment perfect for retro shutterbugs alike to appreciate. The camera is constructed entirely using LEGO building blocks, but maintains a functioning photography form that will capture images via the pinhole design onto 35mm film. The camera required some trial and error to get figured out, but was completed with a film advance, take-up reels and a shutter button to ensure an authentic photography experience.
The LEGO ZH1 camera is presently on the LEGO Ideas forum as a fan-made concept where it is on its way to receiving the necessary votes to be put into production for consumers to purchase in the future.
