Vintage Imaging Kits

PGYTECH RetroVa Turns iPhones into Vintage Photo Systems

PGYTECH RetroVa Vintage Imaging Kit, now on Kickstarter, turns iPhones into vintage camera systems, complete with classic proportions, a tactile feel and a nostalgic experience that inspires shooters to creatively capture the world around them. In terms of feel, the system integrates a classic black pebbled leather finish, metal-texture buttons and premium grips that bring back elements that have been lost with smooth, buttonless devices.

Tech-wise, beyond aesthetics, RetroVa delivers premium, immersive photography experiences with mix-and-match lenses, lightweight telephoto extenders and adapter rings for precise light control. In all, there are two kits to support beginner and pro content creators, and with the PGYTECH Pro Imaging app, RetroVa delivers film-camera texture and mood to make the iPhone experience more cinematic.

As PGYTECH puts it, "Smartphones made photography easy, RetroVa makes it meaningful again."
