@krn and @lucas will be hosting an AMA with Ethan from CAMERADACTYL, on Friday, May 30 at 7pm ET / 11 PM GMT!
If you’re into film photography, 3D printing, or just love hardware, you have to be there.
Ethan makes some of the coolest analog cameras out: 4x5 rigs, panoramic 35mm setups, and even tools to automate your film scanning.
We’ll be chatting about building cameras from scratch, open-source design, and everything!
Never heard of CAMERADACTYL? Here are some fun facts:
- CAMERADACTYL makes 3D-printed film cameras—mostly large format (4x5) and medium format
- The founder, Ethan Moses, designs, prints, and assembles most of the gear himself out of a workshop in New Mexico.
- One of their best-known cameras is the Brancopan, a panoramic 35mm camera with a wide aspect ratio and a super compact frame.
- CAMERADACTYL also makes the Mongoose, a motorized film scanner that helps digitize negatives quickly using a DSLR setup.
- Ethan regularly shares builds, experiments, and camera hacks on Instagram and YouTube
