Analogue cameras are popular, but most people use them to shoot old-fashioned film. Photographer Malcolm Wilson turned an old analogue camera into a digital version.
To do this, Malcolm used a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and Raspberry Pi HQ camera module. He placed these inside a broken Yashica Electro 35 analogue camera.
The camera has to be focused manually, and don't expect too much from the quality. It does sound like a fun DIY project.
Malcolm himself was inspired by the homemade camera made by Becca Farsace.
