Note the damage on the top left of the front standard.

Makes me wonder how bad it is underneath.

 

[GRHazelton]

Truly obscene.

You can tell that was done by a non-photographer...a photographer knows that light comes out of a FLASH UNIT!

The Rolleicord doesn't even have a popup flash unit.

Having a lamp like that would stress me out. It feels so wrong.

 

[BrianShaw]

Very cool. Obviously only for the most discriminating collector!

 

[pentaxuser]

I wouldn't destroy a camera to do this but if it was a "goner " anyway then why not? like this kind of quirkiness

There's a "flea market" in a town near where I live that has a vendor that makes those obscene objet d'art pieces from some beautiful folding art deco era cameras, truly disturbing.

One man's treasure is another man's lamp... and so it goes.

Maybe he wants a brighter screen?

No, THIS is wrong....

It hasn't got a front standard. Do you mean the standard lamp?

 

[Auer]

I don't see a problem.
Beats having it propping open a chicken coop door.

Overrated, overpriced cameras anyway.

 

[ic-racer]

I play clarinet and I have seen these atrocities for years....

Wait for the FOCOMAT lamps. If that day comes, the Philistines Nincompoopers will have taken over the world.

 

[choiliefan]

The picture frame idea is pretty nifty:

Is that Rosie's Workshop? They're also in Ross Park Mall. They make lamps from cameras and musical instruments and their prices are a bit on the high side. I pointed out that the Speed Graphic lamp would have been a decent camera and the clerk looked a bit embarrassed. Most of the cameras in the Ross Park store had obvious damage other than putting in the lamp and most were pretty common and ordinary ones.

 

[GRHazelton]

Wait for first Leica Lamp to make its appearance.....

 

[GRHazelton]

I can see it now! Salvador Dali's iconic The Persistance of Memory turned into a wall clock....

 

[Alan Gales]

All I can say is thank goodness it isn't a Hasselblad.

Sirius Glass would have a heart attack!

Neither, it's L&L Fleatique, I haven't been there since last year, don't know what they have now. I suppose it's a good use of non functional cameras, but it just goes against my grain to see them drilled full of holes.
