I have had really good luck with a plastic ($9.95) 35mm panorama camera for this use, simply unscrew the small phillips screws, open the camera up, and take the entire lens element out, then I use black gaffers tape to tape a pie tin pinhole to the front of the camera. The cameras are "panoramic" so they have a mask in them to "shape" the frames like a real panorama camera, but it is easily snapped out for "full frame" use. Pix Panorama is the "brand" name. I can't remember for sure, but I think they are an Ansco camera.
