🎉 Nana Camera Update: New Awards, Lens Mods & Limited Bundle Accesorries Coming Soon!
Nana Camera — A One-Trick Pony? Not Anymore.
Hey everyone,
We’ve got some exciting updates to share about the Nana Camera — from international awards to creative lens hacks and an upcoming accessory bundle!
🏆 We Won! Twice!
Nana Camera has picked up not one, but two design awards — the IDA GOLD 2024 and MUSE Silver 2025 — a massive milestone for our tiny but mighty camera!
If you’ve been loving your Nana, please help us spread the word using the link above!
🔍 Close-Up Portraits — getting there.
See our testing of a +1 close-up filter (or reading glasses lens, if you're scrappy like us!) to turn the Nana into a half-body portrait machine. Perfect focus range at about 1 meter.
The first picture below is without the +1 close up / Portrait lens which focuses at about 2 meter, you can see Emma in this photo is blurry. But then the second photo you can see Emma being sharp at 1meter, which is about an arm length.
🎥 Big thanks to Ed Spence from Mostly Vintage Camera for independently discovering the same hack — great minds!
👉 Watch his breakdown and sample shots and explanation in this video here.
Ed showcased the Nana with a +4 generic close-up lens, focusing on a Rubik’s Cube, photo below, which focuses around 25cm.
🌍 Wide-Angle Fisheye Fun — From Japan to You
From the skateparks of Saitama, Japan, Akinori Higashimori mounted a 30mm fisheye lens (from a Sony Handycam) on the Nana and captured a killer skate shot.
We are waiting to confirm this test.
👉 See page two of the Shot on Nana zine draft — and stay tuned, we’ll be doing a proper community call for submissions soon!
You can see some of the amazing photos took on the Nana so far here.
