I spotted this in the Guardian.

As with a lot of things, patience will be needed to put it together, and then to use it. But it's a very nice piece of work.

Some enterprising person will start selling 3D printer files to make cameras soon I'm sure. Lens might be a bit tricky though.

Why not just buy an old box camera for a few quid and whiech the lens out and use a bit of foil . . .

This isn't, of course, for us.
We're all tooled up with multiple cameras in multiple formats. This will sell on novelty, and being fashionable, to a whole new crowd of people who are currently strictly digital shooters.
If it means Ilford and Fuji sell more film, good for them, and us.
If a proportion of people who buy this get serious and move on to other film cameras, even better.
It's all good.
