Photographer and YouTuber Mathieu Stern recently found an old 1960s-era Edixa camera at a garage sale for about $5. It was in rough shape, but he believed it could once again be beautiful.
Photographer Oliver Hihn thinks its a shame that so many old cameras sit around on shelves and slowly gather dust, so he decided to take his dad's old Elbaflex VX 1000 35mm SLR out on a hike. Instead of shooting film photos, he decided to photograph landscapes framed in the waist-level viewfinder of the camera.
Here's a 3-minute skate video that has an usual perspective: it was shot through the waist-level viewfinder of a Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR camera.
If you have a mirrorless camera that lacks a viewfinder but has a tilting LCD screen, here's a neat "hack": you can give your camera a pseudo-viewfinder by mounting an old waist-level viewfinder to the screen.
