From the Latin “texo” for build or construct, and “lux” for light, our Texolux offerings are new and/or vintage deconstructed, reimagined, rebuilt, morphed, modified, customized, combined, converted, transformed, and build-it-yourself (“DIY”) devices for capturing light on film.

Texolux is our company name too! 🙂

Our camera-hacker-maker partners build each Texolux device by combining vintage cameras with new parts, accessories, add-ons, and custom-fabricated components, such as 3D-printed camera backs. The DIY camera and conversion kits we sell are sourced from various suppliers whose passion for chasing and capturing the light matches our own.

We group Texolux cameras into three basic categories by film size and format, but there are so many film camera mods and add-ons these days, it makes more sense to make a page for each mod or “modder” who makes/mods it! Here are three of our Texolux camera modders and partners, whom we lovingly refer to as:

“The Modders of Invention”

The BIG STAX

It’s a Polaroid Big Shot camera with an Instax camera back, using either an Instax 100 or 300!

Analogue Studio

Instant film backs for vintage medium-format roll film cameras, including Mamiya and Hasselblad.

MiNT Camera

MiNT makes Polaroid SX-70 accessories, remade “new” SX-70 based cameras, an Instax-Wide folding camera, and an Instax-Mini TLR a la Rolleiflex!

Let’s build something together, to chase and capture light.
