Believe it or not, this camera isn’t an accessory for Hipster Barbie, it’s a wet plate collodion camera made by Kevin Klein that’s about the size of a quarter. Oh, and I should mention that it actually works!

Kevin, whose hobby is miniaturizing Victorian technology, made the camera out of 1/32-inch plywood and various other scraps of wood. It shoots miniature 1/2-inch square plate images.
