What is Freelensing?
Photos taken with the lens detached from the camera but held in place and moved around to focus. This also lets extra light in sometimes causing light leaks and giving a vintage look and feel.
Freelensing can also:
* Give extra bokeh by shrinking the area in focus (aperture is 0)
* Allow for super macro shots
* Produce ethereal lighting by allowing stray light to get in to the sensor
* Make delicious light leaks
* Create tilt-shift effects

After decades, technical innovation has finally reached another milestone! Meet the Sprocket Rocket – the very first camera dedicated to sprocket hole photography. Cherishing the full potential of the 35mm film roll, the Sprocket Rocket includes the sprocket holes in breath taking shots which characterize the unique style of this camera. Being also the first camera that features a reverse gear, it enables maximum creativity by moving back and forth between the frames with two convenient scrolling knobs.
