Abandoned Storage (AGAT 16/Half Frame Camera 35mm)
-
Really like the 2nd shot. Quite sharp looking photos.
I’ve been half tempted in the past to get a half frame camera. I think Eddie here on PI
has one too.These kind of cameras are not very common, right? My is Agat16 made in Soviet Union, small peace of plastic, terrible in loading film, but quite impressive in quality of taking pictures. And one more benefit is 72 frames instead 36 :)
I have only ever heard of half-frame camera’s, I have never seen one, they seem to be rather rare, though I am open to correction on that.

Not so popular these days, but a popular consumer format in the past with APS-format cameras being quite common. Olympus made a half format slr in the form of the Olympus Pen-F range, supplementing their Pen compact range.
Some lovely images, and the prospect of getting 72 images on a roll is quite an attractive one, and have been enamoured with the idea of a half frame camera as a dear-diary camera in the past, but I have too many film cameras to justify another one :)

I must have a look around a few sites, see if there are many for sale, see how much they go for. Thanks for the information.

Unfortunately, when I open the link, it says Product Not Found, I will search for it again.
That’s odd, they were selling half frame cameras plus holgas and other toy cameras up to a few weeks ago and now they are no longer on their site.
