Back in the Game Boy-era Nintendo released theĀ Game Boy Camera. This plastic shooter would go into your Game Boy's cartridge slot and let you take tiny black-and-white photos that were low-res even by '90s standards.

Two decades later someone decided to upgrade a Game Boy Camera by attaching an obscenely large telephoto lens. And the thing actually works and can take long-distance pictures. The contraption was made by designer Bastiaan Ekeler, who describes the project in a blog post.
