DIY Twin-Lens Reflex Kit

The Corn Electronics Recesky 35mm TLR Camera DIY Kit is a self-assembly twin-lens reflex camera made from ABS plastic. It arrives as a bundle containing all necessary parts, an assembly tool and a roll of 35mm film. The build process takes roughly one hour and results in a fully functional analogue camera with a waist-level viewfinder. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy hands-on construction and experimental photography.

Suited to tinkerers and lomography fans

This kit suits anyone who wants to understand camera mechanics by building one, and who appreciates the unpredictable character of lo-fi images. It is not for photographers who need precise exposure control, fast autofocus or interchangeable lenses. Buyers who want a ready-to-shoot camera with metering and modern convenience should look at something else. The fixed aperture and single shutter speed limit creative flexibility in changing light.

Fixed f/11 aperture and 1/125 s shutter

The lens operates at a constant f/11 with a single shutter speed of 1/125 second, so it handles bright outdoor scenes comfortably. Multiple exposures are supported on the same frame. Focus adjusts from 50 cm to infinity, covering portraits to landscapes. In dim conditions or when shallow depth of field is desired, the fixed settings run out of headroom and image quality degrades.

Questions about this item

What type of film must I already have to use the Corn Electronics Recesky TLR camera?

The camera takes standard 35mm film, so you need a roll of 35mm film loaded before shooting.

Can I still use the included assemble tool if I already own a small screwdriver set?

Yes, the kit includes a dedicated assemble tool, but your own small screwdriver set can also be used during the build.

How do I verify the shutter is firing at the correct 1/125 second speed after assembly?

Open the back without film, cock the shutter, point at a bright light and fire; you should see a brief flash through the lens indicating the shutter opened and closed.
