The La Sardina – Domino is a 35mm camera. This edition of La Sardina was presented together with La Sardina – Möbius, La Sardina – Cubic and La Sardina – Quadrat.
The Pattern Edition was released one week after the Metal Edition (Czar and Beluga).
Black and white patterns in domino design are printed on the small plastic camera. The La Sardina – Domino comes with a poster, a book of photos (“Seeing the world through a sardine cam”) and a Photo Accordion (=Leporello).
It offers the same features as the normal La Sardina.
The La Sardina – Domino has a super wide angle with a focal length of 22 mm made of plastic. The MX switch allows easy multiple exposures. Long exposures are possible with the Bulb mode. A connection for a remote shutter release and for a tripod are available on the La Sardina – Domino.
The Domino is fed with 35mm film (eBay / Amazon*), whether Redscale, color negative film, slide film or black and white film is irrelevant. The number of pictures taken is indicated by the film counter. The development can be developed by any drugstore.
