Flashback’s first screen-free compact camera went viral. Now, it’s building one with brass buttons and double exposures. Meet the Flashback One75
The Flashback One75 is inspired by the half-frame film cameras of the 1970s – and it even shoots double exposures
Flashback’s latest screen-free camera, the Flashback One75, has attracted attention for its brass accents and double exposure capabilities. Unlike its screen-free predecessor, the One75 features a small OLED screen at the top, enabling photographers to select from eight film-inspired presets and adjust settings such as flash control.
However, the camera maintains its screen-free nature, as photos cannot be viewed directly on the device, thus replicating the wait associated with film photography. The One75 is inspired by half-frame film cameras from the 1970s, featuring a vertically-oriented sensor and viewfinder to accommodate two frames within the space typically occupied by a single frame in a 35mm camera.
Its 13MP resolution, while not detailed in sensor size specifics, is complemented by a built-in Xenon flash. Unlike its predecessor, the One75 boasts a more premium appearance, with an aluminum top plate and brass accents, and includes a tripod mount and a 25mm thread on the front of the lens for attaching filters and additional lenses.
Photos captured on the One75 are stored in 27-photo "rolls," which are "developed" within the Flashback app. Users can wait 24 hours for photo development or use digicam mode for immediate access. Additionally, an upcoming app update will empower photographers to design their own presets through adjustable sliders controlling halation, chromatic aberration, saturation, and exposure.
The earlier One35 V2 camera will also benefit from the custom preset feature via the beta version of the app. Furthermore, the One75 allows users to "redevelop" existing rolls in different film presets through the app. Priced at $179 / £139.95 / AU$249.95 / CA$254.95, the Flashback One75 is available for pre-order directly from the company, with shipments expected before Christmas.
