Haynes HTLR14 Classic Camera Construction Kit, Black

If you are a camera nut and like making things this is great fun. I brought this for my bro at Christmas. He loves it being a camera nut! This basic camera gives you the idea of how cameras work as you built it.

It's good to have been able to build up s camera with more working parts than the previous pin-hole ones I've made. It didn't take too long maybe 1-2 hours, I didn't time myself!

Friend absolutely loved this product, it's relatively easy to assemble but i think he lost a part of it as the last piece (lense) wouldn't stay in.He tells me he's gonna glue it which is a bit of extra effort...that's why 4 not 5

Very well received by my grandfather on his 80th birthday. Many thanks.

Bought it for myself and I am impressed. I enjoyed putting it together and it's a nice little gadgets!

A lovely novelty gift, but not very good practically, the wind on mechanism started to malfunction half way through the film, which created a problem. On the other hand, my partner then used it to propose to me so I now have a deep affection for it. Box design is lovely.

Gave as a gift to a 13 year old, she loved it

My husband built this after I gave him it as a Christmas gift. It was fiddly but straightforward enough. Unfortunately, it was very brittle and there were a few missing parts (which were quickly sent by the manufacturers). Unfortunately, it didn't function as it was meant to and the item was returned for a refund. When the photos were returned, there were obviously gaps where the plastic pieces didn't properly join together and we wasted £13 on photo developing. It's a nice idea but perhaps a ready-made version would be more appealing.
