I've had the 75mm focal length version of that camera for a number of years. It's a nice camera. I have used various Polaroid print films as well as Polaroid Type 55, and Kodak T-Max 100 and Ektachrome 100Plus in Readyloads with my Santa Barbara camera. I've heard that color Polaroid film shifts a lot. So instead of going that route, I thought about either buying or making a body cap for my 35mm Nikon F2. Can anyone recommend a good color film to start with. Is there a color shift with 35mm like there is with Polaroid film? What about the reciprocity? Better or worse than Polaroid film? Does using the pinhole effect the processing (I wouldn't think so, but I thought I'd ask)? All color film will shift due to reciprosity failure. The question is how much and how quickly. Polaroid color film shifts a lot due to reciprosity error. As near as I can tell Polaroid color film is meant for studio flash exposures. Even relatively quick exposures (a few seconds) will cause shifting. The Polaroid web page has all the information on all their film online in the Professional section. I think they recommend the film for 1/1 to 1/10 second. Since you already have the Polaroid 545 back you could use either Fuji QuickLoads or Kodak ReadyLoads. These are available in either color negative, color positive (slides) or BW negative. They are more expensive than buying a box of the same sheet film, but you don't have to load them in the dark, there is no dust problem, you can drop them off at the lab without having a spare film box and the holder and a box of packets is much lighter and less bulky than the equivalent number of regular cut sheet film holders. -- Brian Reynolds | But in the new approach, as you know, reyno...@panix.com | the important thing is to understand http://www.panix.com/~reynolds/ | what you're doing rather than to get NAR# 54438 | the right answer. -- Tom Lehrer

Hi all, I've been experimenting with a Santa Barbara camera and Polaroid 545 back with BW (72) film for about 6 months now (my first pinhole camera, besides an oatmeal can).

Don, I'm interested in purchasing a Diana as well. Please fill me in on the scoop. Thanks, Dan -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] WWPD III A few months back on Ebay I purchased a large collection of Dianas that were unused in the original packaging (I'll wait for the collective gasp heard round the world - or at least on this list). Much to my dismay, one camera's shutter was completely froze up. In a fit of creativity, I not so gently removed that juicy lens - and mounted it on a... guess what - a bodycap! Leaving me with the perfect pinhole camera body - I just finised it Sunday, and I hope to shoot with it in the next few days, as well as WPPD III. Oh, anyone want a Diana - I seem to have way too many... Don Any new ideas for unusual cameras. I've been preping my students. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [pinhole-discussion] RE: WWPD III
Hi Michele, Absolutely!! Worldwide Pinhole Photography day images can be made by pinhole or any of its lensless, tiny aperture siblings, including images made with zone plates, slits and Guillermo's new pinhole sieves.

DOH! Frames strike again! I teach my students that frames are evil (writing Frames are Evil! on the board), so now I have another example. g I never use my browser full screen, so although I have a 17 monitor and 1024X768 resolution, I was only able to see three of the thumbnails.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] WWPD III
= Original Message From Guillermo pen...@rogers.com = Chris has coded the frames for no scrolling, not a good idea, obviously. To my sense of design is was. I was assuming that 15 inch screens were common but didn't take into consideration the resolution one might be using. I should have done more testing, now there are scroll bars. BTW Chris: that's a very ingenious camera you have made, if I were not an I gotta made or modify the pinhole cameras I use kind of guy, I'd have placed an order already. I very much like the images, especially Mia's House, outstanding!!. Thank you. I think I'm very much like you. I love to tinker and figure out cameras or ways to build them. I have reversed engineered many cameras I've seen on the web for my own amusement. I was originally just going to post plans for this camera but after reading posts from others about the cameras they bought I thought it would be best to offer mine for sale. I have had my web site up since the turn of the year but have been stuck perfecting the instruction booklet and tinkering with a 35mm version. I think I'm more interested in making new designs but I think I'll save them till after WWPD III. Chris Peregoy pere...@umbc.edu http://www.pinholeblender.com
