NEW RETAIL

 

KODAK CHARMERAS

They were here, and they sold out in a day!


Light & Lens Studios’ very first retail product launched, and it was gone within 24 hours!


A huge thank you to everyone who grabbed one and made this such a success.


The good news? More are on the way!


I was able to secure 12 more KODAK Charmeras that should be arriving by the end of this week!


3 out of 12 are already spoken for, but there are still 9 more!

For anyone who missed the first announcement, here’s a quick recap:


This camera is a great addition to any collection, and is literally a working camera AND key chain!
