Lukasz What I do with the most basic cameras is allow about 1 to 2 mm on the edge of the paper on two sides for attaching some tape and then sticking the paper with the tape to the camera walls. You need only a small length of tape. You can also use double sided tape but this has the disadvantage of you having to press on the photo paper and risking marking it or having to peel off the paper damaging it that way. With the former method you can handle the photo paper via the tape.
In my favorite homemade pinhole camera I have put in screws with washers onto the back where I place the paper. These just hold in the paper. There are four of these on two opposite sides of the paper. On the other two opposite sides I have placed two nuts held in by screws to stop the paper from slipping. I just have to slipe the paper beneath the washers and between the nuts; the paper then fits against the screws under the washers and against the straight edges of the nuts (these are square not hexagonal nuts.. This works well, I just have to cut the paper the right size to fit between all these. You could use block of would or improvise with something else instead of the nuts. I just try to use whatever is at hand. Good luck Alexis on 22/12/01 4:27 am, ?ukasz Kacperczyk at [email protected] wrote: Hi there, I'm new here, so my question is quite basic, namely: how do you load (I mean position) paper into a can camera? Do you use a tape that has both sides adhesive, or a normal one-sided tape? How do you make the paper stick to the camera's wall?
