The Oktomat use standard 35mm negative . it has 8 50mm-fish lenses arranged in a 2×4 landscape pattern. Over 2.5-3 seconds, it would expose eight separate sections of your 24×36mm negative (or slide) at about 1/100th of a second each. The results could be quite mad, at least in every plastic shooters mind. Exposure appears clockwise from the top left corner to the bottom left corner .

When you press the shutter button, its 8 tiny lenses will fire in sequence, creating an eight-frame mini photo vignette in 2.5 seconds.

The Oktomat sports a fairly useless flip-up viewfinder, which is just a plastic frame really. It gives an impression of how little each exposure would actually capture, even though in practice you'll find you won't need it.
