The latest LEGO Ideas project to reach 10K proves that the community isn’t done with brick-built cameras just yet.
In early 2024, the LEGO Ideas 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera was released, an authentically designed version of the iconic Polaroid camera, down to the shutter button and film. Now another fan designer has thrown a similar project into the ring, with 10,000 people agreeing that the theme has room for two LEGO cameras.
Zung92’s LEGO ZH1 – Working and Functional 35mm Film Camera is a fully functional 35mm film camera using only existing LEGO parts, with an opening at the back to reveal the inner workings. The designer has gone to great lengths to root the building in the correct time period, even including the 1934 LEGO logo.
Authenticity and functionality are two important considerations for this upcoming LEGO Ideas set, with a compact body made of 595 parts that is completely opaque. Other features include a magnifying piece for the objective, developed with a special pinhole lens that produces unique effects.
The LEGO ZH1 – Working and Functional 35mm Film Camera will be the 30th project in the second LEGO Ideas Review of 2024. Remind yourself of the set’s competition as it stands in the table below.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and of course that means LEGO. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous to my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves thrive. You win some, you lose some.
