The Blackbird, Fly is a short plastic 35mm Twin Reflex Camera. It is unique for several reasons. 
1) It, aos a successor to a classic! It seems that the Blackbird, Fly is considered the Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) version of the classic Holga, which in turn a successor to the Diana, both a real cult following. Some call the Holga a, Äútoy, AU camera, which is obviously a bit of a misnomer. Many have relied on it to take good pictures. Yet, the Holga is also known for its unpredictability, as everyone is just a little different. Most have light leaks, and leaks are not going to be the same between any two Holgas. This unpredictability contributes to much of their charm, and was to the extreme by some photographers became a popular camera, Äúshooting from the hip, the AU. Many Holga mods are also very popular. 


2) The, a TLR aos! The Blackbird, Fly is a Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera, which means that there are two reasons: One for taking the photo, and one for the waist-level viewfinder. Behind the viewfinder lens is a mirror at an angle of 45 degrees (hence the term, Äúreflex, AU), which is reflected upward by a frosted glass case surrounded by a hood / enclosure used to block some light and reflection to wither screen. This creates an image on the screen are identical to what's on film are recorded by the photographic lens. 


3) It uses 35mm film! Most cameras use TLR 120 film format. Although 120 film is very cool, it can be much harder to find and even harder to get developed. 35mm film can just drop off at the nearest one-hour photo! 


4) 3 sizes! You can shoot in 3 sizes (Other masks): standard 35mm (24mm x 36mm), square format (24mm x 24mm) square and large size (36mm x 36mm). 


5) The, aos VERY reasonable! TLRs are many hundreds of dollars, and although some of them are worth, the Blackbird Fly is only $ 119. It, a great aos TLR for hobbyists to creative professionals for everyone in between. 


6) Colors, colors, colors! Seriously, how many cameras have several color options?
