Dirkon - The Paper Camera [pinhole.cz]
During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people, which was probably one of the reasons why almost everyone from my generation, when we get on to the subject of pinhole cameras, has fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists]. Its creators, Martin Pilný, Mirek Kolář and Richard Vyškovský, came up with a functional pinhole camera made of stiff paper, designed for 35 mm film, which resembles a real camera. My first attempt at putting together a paper Dirkon a few years after it came out fell victim to a total lack of patience on my part.

Offices Reminiscent of the Past | Crystal Kiss - Strange News an Working in an office back in the days used to be real fun.

Nikon fisheye lenses FC-E8 and Nikkor 10.5mm Nikon fisheye lenses FC-E8 and Nikkor 10.5mm Text and photos by Jarle Aasland Fisheyes are some of the most fun, most extreme and most challenging lenses you can work with. They can produce spectacular photos, and they can produce junk. In that respect, they're like other lenses, only more extreme. I won't say much about the optical characteristics of these lenses. Since then, Nikon have made several different fisheye variants. Fisheye lenses were first developed for scientific purposes, but soon found their way into "normal use" (whatever that is). A classic, circular fisheye shot. I've used fisheye lenses before, but never owned one until I found a relatively cheap FC-E8 fisheye converter for my Coolpix 990 on a trip to Cologne, Germany, in 2001. Unlike ordinary SLR fisheye lenses, the converter can produce both full frame and circular images, depending on camera settings. When Nikon announced their new, digital 10.5mm fisheye lens in July 2003, I instantly knew I had to get one.
