Kodak Duaflex 620 Vintage Film Camera Through The Viewfinder Filter

What the heck is this contraption? Well, it’s a vintage Kodak Duaflex 620 film box camera with a large mailing tube tapes over the ground glass viewfinder. The idea is that place a 100mm macro lens in the top of the tube and focus on the image that appears on the ground glass. Since the glass has a beveled edge and possibly dust and scratches on it, you get this vintage look as if your image is encased in glass. When done right, it looks really interesting.

Homemade Through The Viewfinder DSLR camera filter. Which focuses on the ground glass of the viewfinder of a Kodak DuaFlex II twin lens vintage camera. I use a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens but stop down to around f/8 on most exposures.
