John Mustarde was kind enough to send me a pinhole camera that he was`nt
using,
it takes 4 X 5 film. I had my lab guy load it with T-max 100 in his
darkroom. I got
the T-max 100 (25 pack) for $15 because it expired in December, but has been
refrigerated. My lab guy even put the camera in a light tight bag till I`m
ready
to use it. I would have loaded the camera, but did`nt want the fingerprints,
as
there is the serrated edge on the film where you hold it in your right hand
when
handling it in darkness.
Now I`m going to build a little platform out of plywood for it to clamp on
to,
and mount on tripod, to keep it still while opening the shutter. Should be
able
to do an exposure tomorrow. It`s been a fun little project, and if the pics
come out, that`ll be a bonus!
