Tesco Camera

I noticed Tesco sell digital cameras for ?9.99
Would that count as low fidelity? Or just crap?
Or maybe they’re not that bad – though you do tend to get
what you pay for in this harsh commercial world.
I might buy one and post up some pics to see what yeese think.Pete

It could be both. Could be an interesting experiment although you may get the same results with an old camera phone.
Fair point Dave. I wondered about that too.

I never worked out how to get pics from my old phone to my computer.There are four ways you can get a photo from your phone to your pc
1) Infrared – buy a infrared dongle for your pc.
2) Bluetooth – buy a bluetooth dongle for your pc.
3) USB – install software on pc and connect the USB lead to pc and import photos
4) Memory Card – if no USB lead put it has a memory card, put the card in a reader and connect to pc.If you have a really old picture phone like my old Sony Ericsson, then infrared is the only option. Its a bit slow but it works. Alternativly, what I did was IR the photos from my old phone to my new phone (Sony Ericsson K750i), which supported all the above options and lets you transfer the pictures at your own pace without having to be tied to a pc for hours.
There is one last option but it really reduces the qaulity (size) of the photo and that is to MMS the photo to Vodafone or Flickr and download it to your pc.
Hope that helps,

I made myself a lens for my D1h… Got an M42 to nikon mount from e-bay for £6.25 and an old broken folder, took the bellows and lens off the folder and hot glued to the mount – home made tilt/shift. I will see if I can dig out some of the images from the backup drives. It was interesting, leaked light everywhere, was very unpredictable…. IE fun.

Im in between jobs & houses etc at the mo.. so will have to trawl through the pile of boxes, but I would like to try it out againanyway – so will dig it out and post a pic.

Had a quick look last night for the lens – cant find it.
So I have ordered up a new adapter and when that arrives I will build a new version. I will take pics of the process and post them up here.
It was easy to do, but I learned a few things while building the first version that i will try out in this one….So “Watch this space”..

I have gathered together the parts I need to make another “low tech” lens. If anyone is interested I will post up pics of the build process…..
In either case I will post images from the resultant lens here sometime next week.Gary H
I now have all the bits I need to build the lens. So I will do this at the w/e.
Life work and play have sort of got in the way – and I thought I was going to be able to grab a damaged nikon lens to base it all on… but back to plan “D” and use of a convertor…. Will post it all up at either the w/e or on Monday… honest!
