Re: [pinhole-discussion] 120 camera conversion

Any recommendations for a cheap 120 camera that's pinhole convertable? Maybe I should do that intermediary step before going to 4 x 5 sheet film. Thanks Murray My favorites for wide-angle use are just about any 120-format folding camera. Ansco Speedex Jr. for 6x6 and Ansco Viking for 6x9

I am in the process of converting an Ilford Dacori 6x6 camera into a pinhole camera. Everything is ready to go -- except the pinhole aperture. The focal length is 40mm. According to the table I have, the optimal pinhole would be .0092. I have a .0087 pinhole from a set I bought from

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Wide angle question

Johanna, The answer, I think, lies in switching to 120-format for wide-angle pinhole. I tried 35mm, found it to be too small to scan and print decently, and now stick to 6x6 and 6x9 images. I have no darkroom, so I get the film processed and contact prints made, then scan the negatives on a

[pinhole-discussion] Pinhole cameras at Calumet

I see that Calumet is selling pinhole cameras from Pinhole Resource (the Leonardo) as well as Zernike Au at Zero Image (Zero 2000 recently under discussion). My personal preference has always been to buy directly closer to the source. And I think I would continue to do so even at slightly

Re: [pinhole-discussion] panoramic camera

In January, 1997, Shutterbug had a story on a Longfellow 6x17 panoramic camera, including instructions on how to assemble one. It is made of two diecast 6x9 rollfilm camera bodies, carefully cut and reassembled. Film viewing window still works as remade, winding the film to numbers 2-4-6-8.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polling results for pinhole day

It is nice to see that a clear majority in an election -- and to see that the right decisions were made. It remains an editorial style decision now, but I think it should be worldwide (rather than world wide), despite the wording on the ballot - and even though my pinhole photographs do tend

Thanks. Can you suggest a printer which uses the quadtone inks? I've looked at Cone's website and looked at the info on his inks. The Epson 1160 seems to be the large format affordable printer of choice for quadtone inks. I got a refurbished one for $154 + $37 shipping from ubid.com. They

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Request for comments

Either of the 120 format cameras will work fine. Much more difficult to get film for 127 format. I have converted an Ansco Viking 6x9 to pinhole by removing the bellows and fold-out front and gluing a plate over the front of the camera. Very wide-angle -- 29mm focal length. Shutter is made
