One Vision

The Action Tracker is a small 35mm camera with four lenses. The camera takes four consecutive pictures on a 24×36mm negatives. Actually, four small negatives are made in a clockwise order. With one focal length, one shutterspeed (most of the times)andone aperture don't expect perfect images. Actually, the only way to correctly expose your film is to choose the correct film sensitivity. Yet the prints with four images taken quickly after one another, can be great fun. It works especially well with frantically moving people or with sports events.
