Steve, I have converted a speed graphic and a foot locker for pinhole use. You can see the cameras at: http://marshfield.k12.wi.us/art/elementary/pincam2.htm
I also modified a polaroid pack film holder, http://marshfield.k12.wi.us/art/elementary/pincam1.htm I took off the bellows of a polaroid 250 land camera, and attached the back part with the processor rollers to a wooden film holder. I use it with my 4X5 speed graphic. I use gaffer's tape to keep it on the camera, (not larry's assistant duct tape because that is holding my truck together!) There are also pinhole images of the frank gerhy's minnapolis art center taken with an old polaroid 4X5 film holder at: http://marshfield.k12.wi.us/art/elementary/holder1.htm I have found using the locker camera fun and easy to transport. The heaviest part is the case itself, unless i have spooled alot of film in it. I used a tad of weater stripping to light proof the lid seam. It works well! There are other cameras at the site too. eric nelson marshfield, wisconsin, usa where we are currently haveing an ice storm!! Good shots tommorrow i hope! > > >I wonder if you could make a "really big" pinhole camera out of a suitcase >or foot locker from a garage sale?
