Lomography has introduced LomoMod No. 1, a DIY medium-format camera constructed from cardboard, as well as a new lens with a shutter and aperture unit. The lens can be filled with liquid from a syringe, according to Lomography, in order to produce 'unique artistic aesthetics' using tea, coffee, and more.
Much in the same way as Google's cardboard virtual reality headset, Lomography's new LomoMod No. 1 ships as flat-packed sustainable cardboard that the customer assembles at home. This process appears fairly straightforward, as the construction doesn't require glue or screws to put together. In addition to being moddable, the cardboard camera is also doubled-sided to offer matte black and UV pattern options.
Below is a gallery of sample images taken with the camera:

Beyond the cardboard camera body, the LomoMod No. 1 features a unique lens that replaces traditional filters with an injectable design. The companion shutter and aperture module feature both normal and bulb modes with support for long exposures. The unit features customizable aperture plates, as well, for creating 'unique' bokeh. Rounding out the design is a tripod mount and PC-sync and cable release socket.
The full kit ships with:
11 Sheets of Cardboard Cutouts
1 Sheet Aperture Plates Set
Sutton Lens Module
Aperture and Shutter Module
120 Film Spool
Tripod Nut
Tube
Syringe
Valve
Colorful Stickers
Photo Book & User Manual
The Lomography LomoMod No. 1 is available to pre-order for $59 USD. Units have already started shipping in Hong Kong but won't start shipping in Japan, the United States or Europe until early next month.
