Actually, everything behind the pinhole gets the same amount of focus. 
Therefore, if there is dust on the filter, the dust will be in focus 
regatdless of which side of the pinhile the filter is on.  However, once 
the filter is clean, it is much easier to keep it clean if it is inside 
the camera.


Another list member advocated holding the filter in front of the pinhole 
and moving it constsantly diring the exposure.  This keeps any dust or 
imprefections from being recorded on the film.

Dusties have no problem getting projected onto the film when the filter
is behind the pinhole- I know this from painful personal experience!

Moral- Take pains to clean any dust fragments from your filter before
every shot, and, if your filter is inside your camera, make sure that the
inside of your camera squeaky clean, or else as soon as you close your
camera, dust will hop on your filter like fleas on a dog!

It really should not matter which side of the pinhole you place the filter. 
I guess you would have to weigh ease of removal to the possibility of lens 
flair and decide which fits the way you work.

Thanks again Omar. I agree, making an integral film camera into pinhole is a
great accomplishment. I have not been successful so far, but my first
attempt was with a one-step camera that I forgot to test with the lens still
on to see if it even worked. I don't think it did! I am now going to start
over, using a known good camera!

Thanks Dan for the positive input,

The camera uses standard 600 film, which at least for now, can still be
purchased anywhere.  I have a few SX-70 film cameras, but cannot always find
the film.
In regards to the Modified Polaroid Impulse camera, the pinhole was
originally smaller, but the images were dark.  I had already glued on the
pinhole brass shim to the camera, and was about to give up.  I was thinking
about all these f-stops and and other pinhole calculations, when suddenly my
wife said, ...why don't you just make the hole bigger!  So I took the sewing
needle (what size I don't know..) and just inserted it into the pinhole and
ever so slighty enlarged the hole.
I know, this is not scientific, lacks mathematical formulas, etc. but it
worked.
I consider pinhole photography to be art.  If I wanted to be like Ansel
Adams I would not be using a $3 camera and a homemade pinhole.
Just the fact that an integral film camera worked for pinhole at all was a
great accomplishment.
I do own "real" Polaroid peel-apart film cameras that have glass lenses and
"real" shutters, but the images I obtain do not produce the unpredictable
results that I can get with a home made camera.
Recently I purchased a Zero Image 6x9 from Zernicke Au.  It is beautiful and
I hope to see what I can do with it.
If I can be of any help to anyone trying to modify a One-Step type camera
into a pinhole, please email me, I will be glad to help.

Camera


Hi Pinholers,
I am new to the discussion group, and although I have been taking pinhole
photographs with a Nikkormat and Pinhole Body Cap for about 2 years now, I
have recently built an integral film polaroid pinhole camera.  You can see a
couple of images of it:
http://www.???/discussion/upload/gallery2002.php?pic=omar_cam
era001.jpg

http://www.???/discussion/upload/gallery2002.php?pic=omar_cam
era002.jpg

I made my own home brew pinhole with a sewing needle, a pin vise, and some
brass shims from my local art/crafts store.

It took some experimentation but I was finally able to totally black out the
electronic light sensor to keep the camera's original shutter mechanism open
as long as possible.

Since I have a home made pinhole, I don't know what f-stop I am working
with, but, as long as I am getting an image on the film I guess it doesn't
really matter.

The Polaroid Impulse which I obtained used for $3 is really easy to take
apart with destroying the camera.  I simply replaced the Polaroid plastic
lens with a circular brass pinhole shim and glued it on with black silicon
adhesive/sealant.

"Time Zero" IS SX-70 film.  Polaroid changed the name in the late 70's 
(or so) when they changed the formulation so that it processed faster. 
It has been the name for SX-70 film for the last couple of decades.  It 
is hard to find because few stores carry it.  Polaroid still lists it on 
their web site, so it is probably still being manufactured.  Most of the 
large mail-order photo supply places have it.

I suggest to you that blind persons are probably better at this "dyslexic"

everybody is "blind", after all, we have to do it under total darkness.

You may be right, but why (IMO) ruin a sheet of film by planting your
fingerprint on it.  As someone already pointed it out, the notches are there
to ID the film type and to tell you which is the emulsion side of it.  Use
the notches.

The notches serve two purposes, film identification and film
orientation.  With the film held vertically (8" across the top, 10" down
the sides) and the notches along the top edge nearer to the right side,
the emulsion is facing you.

Hi Natalie.  I have been using Polaroid products for years and almost
exclusively do Polaroid Transfers.  I have not had any problems
what-so-ever with the caustic paste used in their process.  This is not
to undermine any of the potential hazards that may exist, i.e. getting
the paste in your eyes, etc.  

I always have a wet wash cloth in my working area in case I get some of
the paste on my hands or work surface.  If you happen to have extra
sensitive skin, gloves may be needed; though I don't use them.

If you follow Polaroid's directions for handling their product, you
shouldn't have any problems.  Have fun.

I have been told that the chemical in this pod is mildly caustic. Our old hands
have thick skin so rarely to we have any problems. The problems occur if we
touch or scratch or probe other areas of our body which don't have think skin.
Think about how many times in a day that you rub your eyes. This transfers
those chemicals to those sensitive areas. I always instruct my students to use
gloves or wash there hands after tearing the print off. "Wet One" or some other
wet wipe is good to keep in your photo kit. These are college age kids that Im
instructing, I would think you would have to be a lot more careful with younger
children.

Hi:

I use Dave Soemarko's LC-1 low contrast developed with my ortho (CGP)
negs. Its a simple developer one can mix themselves.  See:
http://hometown.aol.com/fotodave/Articles/LC-1.html

This developer is mixed in two parts to control contrast.  You can get
very precise contrast control with it.

See http://cyano.usask.ca/pinhole for some examples (all the negs for the
cyanotype negs were developed in LC-1)

I use Arista Halftone film on occasion and develop with dilute Dektol.  The
dilution is in the 1+10 to 1+20 range, depending upon the subject matter.

 I would like to try ...motion picture  pinhole photography I have a 
three turret Bell & Howell 16mm motion picture camera.  I can remove 
the lenses and possibly mount a pinhole.
I know someone who has, they had to push their film-stock many stops 
bc (I think) they were shooting at 24FPS & recording sound (standard 
sound/projection speed)
If you do shoot at your lowest frame rate (on, I guess, your Filmo?) 
that will be 8FPS or translated into shutter speed=about 1/15 second

You may still have to push the film-stock.
Good luck!

I guess you didn't make it to the Why Pinhole show in Rochester NY. Thomas
Comerford had two 16 mm films. After his showing he said he had to "hand crank"
the film at a slower speed to give the pushed film stock enough exposure time to
record. I think he said he estimates that it was shooting at 4 frames per
second.

Natalie,

We'll need more information.  What is the f-stop of you camera? or at
least the focal length?  What is the ISO speed of the film you're
using.  What kind of lighting conditions you want to shoot under.
Cheers,

You can get pdf data sheets for all the 4x5 films at:

http://instantphoto.polaroid.com/service/filmdatasheets/4_5/index.html

There's also more info in their product catalog at:

http://www.polaroidwork.com/home/LLframeset.jsp?body=/form/search.jsp

Sorry I can't be more help, I'm using T55 and T52, haven't played with
T59 yet. The data sheets have the reciprocity failure timings.

Try looking up http://users.cyberbeach.net/~dbardell/pinhole.html - especially 
the curved film plane cameras.  The curved film plane will probably be 
essential for a panoramic camera.
