Nickelodeon Photoblaster

The Photoblaster has two lenses which take four quarter-frame shots in the same space that a normal full-frame 35mm negative would appear.  The main limitation is that there are no manual settings.  The camera can use 200 or 400 ISO film.

The results from this camera blew me away. I was completely surprised at the quality of the results from such an inexpensive camera. Since the camera is designed to take lots of small pictures and since the camera has so many features -- such as a buit-in flash -- I just figured, they would cut corners on the lens.  The bottom picture is an enlargement of a 6x8mm section of one negative.  Lots of details show up clearly -- quite a surprise!
