I’ve played around with digital “enabling” of toy cameras for a while now, from my first Digital Holga to the pinhole digital, and even the “barbieCam”- a modified body cap using a plastic lens from an old Barbie Movie Projector.

A buddy of mine found this little Bakelite camera in the cellar of a friend’s house, while helping him clean out. This is a Univex Model A camera from Universal Camera Corporation, a camera that sold in the 1930’s for around 39¢, with a “00” film roll that sported what looks like a full 35mm frame. The lens is easily removable and can be replaced without damaging it, a plus for such a sweet vintage camera… so here’s a how-to on using a body cap with your DSLR to try out some of this special “glass”… well, uh, lenses.
