Retro Camera Plus

Retro Camera Plus includes five cameras, five sets of vintage vignetting, and film scratch and cross processing effects for that off-the-hip analog look. Inspired by the old Lomo, Holga, Polaroid, Diana and toy cameras whose iconic styles became history, these cameras are included:

The Bärbel
An East German classic, naturally faded with a scratched film and medium vignetting, the perfect all-round choice.
The Little Orange Box
The Soviet Staple with aggressive cross processing and scratched square film. Its crummy plastic lens leaks in light, exhibiting strong vignetting. The black and white option makes this camera prime for more versatile expression.
Xolaroid 2000
This camera inspires candid snapshots. Blue-green cross processing effects, timeless contrast, and a black and white option come standard with this classic.
The Pinhole Camera
A do-it-yourself gem and more unpredictable than Schrödinger’s cat. This camera exhibits full bleed developing and vignetting through the roof, so be sure to give this cardboard chimera a try.
The FudgeCan
The perfect rig for outdoors; developed on square film that wasn’t quite stored… or developed right. But therein lies the charm that’ll make your pics with this beauty memorable and instantly nostalgic.
Customizable settings and easy sharing finish up this user-friendly application for vintage camera lovers.
