The Focal Camera is an open-source modular analog camera building system, free of charge and low in material-costs that allows anyone to build working cameras ranging from SLRs to stereo. Through a system of pre-designed modules, each housing a particular function, not only can complicated functions be understood, but also utilized and combined with each of the other 18 modules.
Each module is designed to be the simplest form of an existing, desired complex function. The return to basics allows for an easy understanding of such features, which often don’t need much to do the same as their complicated brethren. Aside from that, the system offers a variety of ways to create viewfinders and lenses.
