First Impressions from 3-lens toy

[amhildreth]

I picked up one of those 3-lens cameras on eBay for $14. It has a robot face on the front, and an odd lens system that makes all the photos look like an open book. The "viewfinder" is a term to be used loosely on this camera - look through the flip-up square and guess. It's fun, but the largest lens is always one stop brighter than the others. Here's a few shots, with Camerabear already commenting one one before I even posted them! He's good.

Yeah. Mine is black w/a yellow robot face. Very stylish.

[POINT OF VIEW]

I’m a big fan of 3D photos. It looks like the bottom two photos are far enough apart to cutout and use in a 3D viewer. Bill

It might work if you take only still photos with it. The shutter fires in a circular motion, with each frame being shot roughly 1/8 second after the previous one. I used Kodak 200 just as a test, but want to try some faster action w/ some 400.
