A great idea!

The package arrived very quickly. The do-it-yourself camera fully meets expectations. A great idea! I'm looking forward to a DIY camera with a lens! A box camera would be a wonderful addition to the portfolio.

Just Got Mine

My Jollylook arrived Nov 15, so I haven’t yet started assembly. However, I did unpack the kit and look over the instructions. Kit looks well organized with clear pictorial instructions. I’m going to assemble today!

Great! Thanks for your feedback, hope you enjoyed the assembly and have already taken cool photos with our DIY Pinhole SQUARE Instant Film Camera Kit!

Some details

First of all, I would like to inform you that I received the camera but it was missing parts, which I have already ordered to send. The concept is undoubtedly interesting, but the services are very weak, not only in the delay in sending the equipment, which lasted several months, but also in the lack of solutions presented.
