- Do your current film cameras suck? Want to try something different and unique? Then this video is for you! Join us as we explore five of the weirdest film cameras out there, including the Konica AI Borg, Olympus O concept, Zenit Photo sniper, petal film camera, and Kyocera Samurai.
In this video, we'll take a closer look at each camera and what makes it so special. From the Konica AI Borg's interchangeable lens system to the Zenit Photo sniper's long-range shooting capabilities, these cameras are sure to catch your eye.
First up on our list is the Konica AI Borg. This camera looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. With its sleek, metallic design and robotic appearance, it's definitely a head-turner. But what makes this camera truly unique is its interchangeable lens system. The AI Borg allows you to swap out lenses and even combine them to create some pretty cool effects. It's definitely a camera that will make you stand out in a crowd.
Next up, we have the Olympus O Concept. This camera is a true oddball in the world of film photography. It looks like a futuristic gadget that would be used by a spy or secret agent. But don't let its appearance fool you. The O Concept is a fully-functional camera that takes beautiful photos. Its compact size and unique shape make it easy to carry around, and it's sure to turn heads wherever you go.
Moving on to our third camera, we have the Zenit Photo Sniper. This camera was designed for a very specific purpose: taking photos from a distance. It's a unique-looking camera that resembles a gun, with a long barrel and a scope attached. But instead of bullets, this camera shoots film. The Photo Sniper was originally used by the Russian military, and it's a camera that definitely makes a statement.
Up next, we have the Petal Film Camera. This camera is a real beauty, with a unique, flower-like design. It's small and compact, making it perfect for on-the-go photography. But what really sets this camera apart is the way it takes photos. Instead of using a traditional lens, the Petal Camera has a small opening that creates a petal-shaped aperture. This gives your photos a dreamy, ethereal quality that's unlike anything else.
Last but not least, we have the Kyocera Samurai. This camera is a true gem, with a unique design that resembles a sword. But don't let its appearance fool you, it's a fully functional camera that takes beautiful photos. The Kyocera Samurai has a sharp 28mm f/2.8 lens that produces stunning images with great depth of field.
Whether you're a seasoned film camera enthusiast or simply interested in vintage photography, this video has something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and let's explore some of the weirdest and coolest film cameras out there. Don't forget to let me know in the comments which one is your favorite!

The photo sniper is made for wildlife photography, the idea was that you go out hunting, but not with a real rifle, but with a “photo rifle”/“photo sniper”
Nice video I think the mercury has frame deserves mentioned
As an extra note, the wooden-stocked camera rig shown during the Fotosniper segment is the FS-1, the first version of the Fotosniper rig, using a FED rangefinder camera attached to an SLR-like adapter. Since rangefinder cameras are only usable with a relatively narrow range of focal lengths, the reflex adapter was necessary to actually aim and focus the 300mm lens.
The later, far more common plastic and metal rig is the FS-3. There is a different full-metal version of this, the FS-2, which may be similar to FS-1, but with a 600mm lens for military use. Otherwise, I believe the setup is similar, but I cannot confirm this.
I remember all of these.
The petal was a one-trick pony.
The Zenit Photosniper series were an integrated system, but many photographers used rifle-grips to support long telephoto lenses. If you had a spare few thousand, an alternative was the Novoflex - a lens system that adapted to most 35mm SLRs and allowed lenses up to 800mm, supported by a rifle-stock (the trigger was a cable-release, screwed into the camera shutter release) and focus was by a vertical grip in the free hand.
Despite the expense, the Novoflex was VERY popular with wildlife photographers and photojournalists.
You might like to check out the Canon Dial a half frame camera with a clockwork wind mechanism, shutter priority with manual override. Or the Yashica. Sequelle again a half frame camera with a motor drive that resembles a 8mm cine camera.
I mostly collect early digital cameras and the weirdest one I have is the Minolta Dimage V, it has the very unique feature of the entire sensor being removeable and you can attach it to the screen with a cable so you can use it like a periscope or stick it in places the normal camera wouldn't fit. Insane feature and I don't know of any camera since that does something similar.
LCD supplied by Tiger Electronics...haha you got me there 😃
I love Film Photography Discourse! Thank you for this 👏🏽
Thanks for watching!
I had never seen 1,2 & 5 - and I see a lot of old cameras. Very cool. I don’t know how weird it is, but my favorite non-standard film camera would have to be the 1/2 frame, Konica Auto-Reflex (I know not really weird)
That Konica Aiborg is wilddddd
I bought one after making this. Haha. I kind of love it
@@Overexposed1 it would be kind of fun to shoot! It reminds me of The Wraith
I was handed down a Konica AiBorg but haven't gotten a battery for it yet (and I'm still not sure if I should)
I bought the Aibord AFTER making this video because I thought it was so cool. Ha. I think it’s wild!
@@Overexposed1 how do you like the photos from it?
I got one of these as well.Can’t wait to read the instructions lol 😂
