The Soviet Rumble camera is more a work of art than an actual camera. That being said, one half of this art project is a fully functional FED-5 35mm camera. This camera was created out of recycled materials and made by an artist known as Phu. It was made to resemble, you guessed it, an old Soviet tank. The tank influence is most apparent on the stand, with tank treads and miniature cannons making this camera look menacing.
What this camera lacks in tech it more than makes up for in uniqueness and functionality -- when is the last time you seriously considered displaying your DSLR as a work of art? The Soviet Rumble camera was handmade, and as such, it comes with a price befitting a one-of-a-kind piece of art. This camera is available now for $395.
