35mm Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit from Gakken

Discontinued

The Gakken Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit lets you build your own fully functional 35mm film camera from scratch. Once assembled, the camera features a distinctive twin-lens design — the upper lens for composing and focusing your shot, and the lower lens for capturing the exposure.

Compatible with any standard 35mm colour, slide, or black-and-white film (not included), this kit produces photographs with a charming, lo-fi aesthetic. The build process itself is an engaging hands-on experience, making it a great project for photography enthusiasts and makers alike.

Key Features

  • Twin Lens Reflex Design – Upper lens for viewfinding and focus, lower lens for exposure
  • Standard 35mm Film – Works with colour, slide, and black-and-white film
  • DIY Assembly – Build the camera yourself for a rewarding hands-on experience
  • Decorative Stickers Included – Personalise the look of your finished camera
