Review on 📸 Nishika N9000 35mm Quadrascopic 3D Lenticular Camera" - Optimized Product Name: "Nishika N9000 - Advanced 35mm Quadrascopic 3D Lenticular Camera for Enhanced Photography by David Citizen

Of course it's cheap. Buying and developing your first roll of film will likely cost more than this camera. That doesn't mean it stays cheap. You will spend a lot of money if you want to learn how to use this camera properly. I bought it for the .gif. If you search "Nishika" on Tumblr, you'll find a lot of cool animated gifs where the frames flow back and forth, resulting in a frame that resembles the signature moments from The Matrix, except you can see that Keanu bullets dodges people with huge sunglasses emitting cigarette smoke. Great. Of the four roles I went through before giving up this camera, I think I shot three or four 3D gifs that I found acceptable. As a digital photographer and videographer (I shoot mostly with a Canon 1D MKIV), I have forgotten how difficult it is to expose on 35mm film without a light meter and with only a choice of exposure settings (bright or less bright). It's nothing but the single-use 35mm cameras we've all used, which somehow had even exposure most of the time. This camera results in dark or blurry shots four out of five clicks of the shutter button. Because four frames of film are used for each exposure, this adds up very quickly. I don't blame the camera entirely for its technical limitations. My inability to uncover this distresses me greatly. What I'm saying is that figuring out how to get this thing to work well is going to take you, the user, a lot of time and effort and it's going to be quite an expensive process. Once you understand THAT, you need to develop a process to keep your film designer from cropping your prints, and then find a workflow for scanning and flattening the resulting images. Be ready. The camera packaging is very sexy and retro and hopefully it will never change. The box is now a decoration of my office, which I am more proud of than the pictures created with it. The camera itself is a hollow, molded piece of plastic reminiscent of every other $12 35mm camera from the '90s. This is a very simple device and does what it says on the tin. Press the button and two frames of film will be exposed. wind to the next two. I repeat. Searching for media and posts tagged "Nishika" will bring you a lot of very cool photos and movies, but just buying this camera doesn't promise you can do the same. Trying to become a lenticular 3D photographer will take a lot of time, money, trial and error. Either be prepared for such commitments or leave it to the hipsters.
