On a recent trip to Wisconsin Dells, I happened upon the H. H. Bennett
Studio History Center, operated by Wisconsin State Historical
Society. It was a rewarding experience and a welcome break from the
area's ubiquitous water parks. Bennett was an accomplished 19th

Temi,
The August 1999 issue of Popular Photography had an article on how to
do this. It was written by Russell Hart and it started on page 48. Im
not sure if it will work on your type of camera, it uses a Kodak
FunSaver Panoramic, but its easy to do and I use them in a lot of my
work. The author
I have an empty Kodak MAX disposable flash camera. Is it possible to
convert this to a pinhole camera. Thanks for your info. - Temi
Hi all !
You will find plenty of practical info and useful advices on the Large
Format site maintained by QT Luong, where a whole chapter is devoted to all
kinds of holders and specially Grafmatik, Readyload, Fuji, Polaroïd .
Have a look at it! The address is :
I have two packs of TriX Film Packs that will fit your back if you want them.
They went out of date in Sept. 1969.

Kodak have discontinued the double sided sheet readyload film, but are
now producing a sigle film envelope to go in a new holder - not
released yet. However they say it will fit the 545 back without a
problem. Tests reported on the web are very encouraging. Cost (in UK)
is @ £20 a box of 20
Reportedly (www.graflex.org) the 545 back CAN be used
with Fiji Quickloads and the Kodak equivalent that I can't
seem to remember the name of. (Though the correct holders
for those film loads are cheaer than a 545 if you have no
interest in using Polaroid materials...)

Don't use the 3000 speed bw film unless you have an
actual shutter; the exposures are usually in the fraction
of a second range. WITH a shutter it is a great film to use
becaue you can hand hold the camera. (I have used it in
a Speed Graphic with pinhole.)

Years ago I did some fiddling with single sheet 4x5 polaroid. I was
trying to make a do-it-yourself polaroid back on a pinhole camera. I
never got it working - but didn't persist.
I did discover that one can take a polaroid sheet, expose it in the
standard single sheet
