The idea of half-frame isn&#8217;t terribly new (witness the old <a href=\"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/cute-as-a-button\/\">Ansco Memo<\/a> for example).<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the folks at Lomography announced <a href=\"https:\/\/phsc.ca\/camera\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PR_Lomourette_en_231102_compressed.pdf\">a trio of simple half frame 35mm cameras<\/a> (based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diana_(camera)\">Diana<\/a>) to let you &#8216;test your mettle&#8217; using the old film technology once again.
