It seems that there really is no limit to human ingenuity - at least at the lower end of the scale. Evidence: the Potato Camera. The folks at Corridor Crew have published a new project video showcasing the creation of a sorta-interchangeable lens camera features a large potato as the camera body, hollowed-out to accommodate a custom 3D-printed film chamber.

The lens is essentially smashed into the front of the potato with the addition of some light-blocking material, and the film is cut into 9in / 22cm strips.

We were somewhat surprised to see that it actually works. We were not at all surprised, on the other hand, to see that it does not work well.
