When it was unblock 20 years ago , it did n’t matter that the Game Boy Camera accept terrible , low - Re , black and livid epitome . It was a digital television camera kids could grease one’s palms for just $ 50 , and the fun factor far outweighed the machine ’s technological limitations . Even today there ’s still a rabid fanbase for it , admit designerBastiaan Ekeler , who managed to chop together a Canon EF lense mount adapter for the toy dog .
The 1.4x transcriber / extenderEkelerdesigned and 3D - print for his Game Boy Camera call for a fleck of finessing ( take : trimming and filing ) to get it to by rights attach to the disassembled GBC , which you may see above with its 3.6 - mm sensing element give away . But eventually he get it all forgather with minimum ignitor leaking in , and the results are surprisingly heavy — as far as the Game Boy Camera goes .
Not only wasEkelerable to get a snap of the lunation with a Canon 70 - 200 f4 lens sequester to his Frankenstein institution , he was also able to tear some seagull photos with attractively defocused backgrounds . The 128×112 - pixel double the Game Boy Camera snaps have never looked dear than they do here , and I ’m tempt to scour eBay for all the parts needed to build one of these for myself .
