Keepin’ it real fake: Likea Leica, only not
Posted in: camera, film, kirf, Retro, Today's Chili
Of all the KIRFs in all the world, this might be one of the laziest. Sure, aesthetically it does a fine job of aping the Leica rangefinder it takes as its “inspiration,” but the Likea camera goes downhill very quickly when you move in a little closer. The first thing you’ll notice is that, instead of the finely engineered Leica body, this thing is made out of, well, cardboard. Then you find out that the pinhole element isn’t provided in the box and you’re faced with the impossible judgment of deciding whether the need for a pinhole element or its omission is the worse offense. Ah well, what do you expect for 20 bucks? Just go buy some film and let your imagination fill the (vast) gap between the Likea and the real stuff.
