No, I was wrong. It is the 110A and 110B that had the great lenses (especially the 110B which had an Ysarex!) I don't know if the 95A or 95B were ever converted to pack film. Since you can't get film for these, they are of no use for pinhole conversion. Look for an Aitomatic 100 pack film

I believe that those two use the old Polaroid ROLL film (as opposed to pack film) which hasn;t been made since 1990. They were great cameras and were frequently converted to use pack film, so if what you are looking at has been converted it will work well. (I have an unconverted 95B with a leaky

If you look at the Starlight Camera website www.paintcancamera.com you'll find a new pinhole camera called the Merlin XD that's made from a film developing tank so the chemistry can be added right after the exposure. I've been working on this for about 2 years and have actually filed a patent for

Say, why not take one of those Unicolor or Beseler processor tanks (or whatever type has the light trap filler), and make a camera out of it. This seems to solve the questions of a vessel that looks and acts like a camera and a processor tank simultaneously. The pinhole/shutter needs to be

Light traps are pretty easy to make. I used these instructions to make light traps for my developing tubes for 4x5 sheet film. I only used two pieces of rubber (instead of the three in the instructions), and have not had a problem with light leaking. http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/brontube.html

Why not use a normal 2 or 3-35mm roll black plastic developing tank? You can buy them without the reels and they already have the light-trap/chemical input built in. The only trick here is you would need a least one changing bag to insert the core tube before adding the developer since you
