Taken with a modified Wide Pic Panorama camera, the same model that I used in week 103 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

This is one of many cheap and cheerful cameras that make panoramic format photos by masking the film plane.
I modified the camera by widening the aperture to the maximum possible, I calculate this makes the lens around f4, compared to the f11 or so it was originally. This has a profound effect on the already poor image quality, the plane of focus (such as it is) seems to be at about 6 feet from the camera, and there is loss of definition across the image. One effect of the wider aperture, given the fixed shutter speed, is that the camera needs dull lighting to avoid over-exposure. That was ideal this week, when we have had almost continuous rain in the UK.
The film was Kodak ColorPlus ISO200, developed at home in the Tetenal C41 kit.

Taken with a modified "Pop 9" camera. This novelty camera has nine lenses and takes nine images simultaneously on a single 35mm frame. Various modifications can be made to the Pop 9, this one is known as the "Full Monty" and involves completely removing the internal dividing walls, with the result that the separate images blend into each other. With all nine lenses uncovered, it can all be a bit of a blur, but with some of the lenses covered or filtered, a range of effects can be achieved.

Taken with a modified Bencini Koroll 24 camera. As the name suggests, this model manages to squeeze 24 exposures out of a roll of 120 film, by using a mask to make the image size 3cm x 4cm. The edges of the film are wasted, but by using the "12 frame" backing paper markings twice, 24 exposures are made.
I removed the mask, so the full width of the film is exposed, and also installed two strips of black plastic in the light path to narrow the image produced on the negatives to around 15mm. By advancing the film by one quarter turn, the images overlap slightly at the beginning of the film, but by the end, when the take up spool is getting fatter, there is a small gap between each image. Expired Fuji Provia 100F film, cross-processed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
