Photographer puts a Samsung Gear Watch in a Kodak TLR to attract clients

Wedding fairs are a hard competition. If you are a wedding photographer, there is sometimes no way around those, though. Finnish photographer, Aaro Keipi, found a cool way to attract clients to his booth. He replaced the insides of a Kodak Duaflex II twin lens reflex with a Samsung Gear watch to attract clients and initiate a conversation.

I am not really sure I like the Kodac disassembly part, but it seems that it was needed in order to fit the watch and charger in.

Then, a series of short steps added a screen instead of the original viewfinder.

The smartwatch in its place. It was a nice, tight fit for the Gear 2 with the charging dock.

Here is what the finished camera looked like:

According to Aaro, the camera was a success and many who came to look in the viewfinder started to chat about the photos and could be potential clients.
