CJ, I know it's not always the most popular place to locate items, but I did see a panopin on e*ay... It is a kit camera made by Mike Bell, and it looks like you could take a look at the part(s) you were interested in making: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2923945842&category=15247
As for Guillermo's suggestion of the Bender darkslide- that would be very easy to make (they say so on the site)... I have a couple of old Graphlex 4x5's as well lots of holders & extra darkslides. I could make the 2x5 slide & put a pinhole camera together ready to shoot! Contact me offlist for info on this camera.

I was wondering, since I am pretty much a newbie at pinholing, and I am enjoying each moment so far, has anyone had experience with the panopin camera? I am thinking about getting one though I am still designing one of my own (the fun part for myself), I just do not have an idea on how to get the film advance mechanism to work. Also just how do paper negatives compare to film negatives? If the paper negatives are just as good then I can forego the film advance mechanism. Currently I am using a 4x5 camera I made up and using Polaroid 55 type film. I am hoping to scan in the negatives and then use my computer to keep an album of my work. I do not have a darkroom available. Any feedback would be most welcome. Enjoy. Oh and in keeping with the Easter holiday I was wondering, has anyone thought about blowing out eggs and then coating the inside with light sensitive emulsion exposing the eggs and then developing and carefully cutting the eggs open? I see it in my head but its just one of those random thoughts I get every now and again.
