Re: [pinhole-discussion] pinhole and polaroid
Greg, You really overpaid. But, alas, it's a good camera once you fix the lens. If you're handy with mechanical things it's fairly easy. You have to remove the screws holding the bellows to the lens piece. Then remove the lens. I drilled mine which shattered it nicely. Then, I believe there is a blade, it's been a while since I did this, behind the actual shutter that becomes your shutter when you remove the real shutter blades. It will be obvious when you work the shutter a few times while it's apart and watch. Tape the pinhole where the shutter is and it all goes back together and looks the same as before. Good luck.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] pinhole and polaroid
Mark, Along with many, I've used Polaroid materials and cameras for pinhole. In both, it's the instantaneous nature of Polaroid film that made it worthwhile. For instance, replacing a Supershooter's lens with a pinhole makes a nice quick conversion, whether you use its built-in shutter or not. Chopping the whole front off allows it to become a wide-angle camera, great for shooting architectural models indoors with the 3000 speed film. Polaroid backs are also great to use. The pack film back plus a simple box taped to the front completes a camera. Any specific area you wish to explore?
