I was just informed that there are toy cameras out there that are half frame and make diptychs IN CAMERA! Wow - major revelation for this blog...and me. Turns out there are a quite a few out there. For your learning and looking pleasure:
Golden Half
Olympus Pen EE
Yashica Samurai X4.0
Thanks to Dan Abbe for introducing me to this so I can share it right here on this blog. Here is one of his photos taken with the Golden Half.

hey i've seen a lot of olympic pens being sold at used camera stores in seoul.
let me know if you're in the market and need one sent to you.
wow! i had no idea either. How much are they michelle?
ooh...Michelle keep your eyes open and if you see one thats cheap get it - it would be fun to play with!
Petri 7 HALF is way more awesome, in my opinion.
