DIRKON – THE PAPER CAMERA

"During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. ..... fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladύch techniků a přνrodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists]."

Have fun and play nice with this camera (ie no godzilla'ing other people's paper cameras).

cool - can we have that as a permanent link when people post threads asking for new kit advice? :)

or.....better still....have that as the subject of a new contest - only pinhole images taken with the paper cam!
