The easiest way to cut those magnets is with a scissors or a paper cutter.

Murray,
Yes, black ABS is the best way to go. You can order a length of it from any
ACE hardware store. A ten foot section cost me 9.95 last week.

Hey Lukasz! welcome to the list...
Here are a couple of ideas to add:
Use CLEAR TAPE to hold the paper in place. This lets the light through and you
don't get those white patches on the negatives. It works great with RC paper
but you have to be careful when taking it off as it could rip the emul
Hi Leezy,
My current roll of tape is labeled "painter's masking tape." I've
used it around door and window trim when painting house interiors; I
believe auto painters use it also. I've never heard it refered to as
drafting tape, although they may both be the same thing.

What i meant was as close as i can get to small things, thus making them
larger. When you work at less than the "focal length" of the pinhole, the
image is sometimes more fuzzy. my closest closeup was with a camera I made
by drilling out the lens and shutter, then putting on a pinhole. I took a

Thank you very much. Your comments were very helpful. I think I'll use
magnets, because I want to use various paper sizes in the same camera. Once
again, thanks and Merry Xmas.

And use a polymer (plastic) magnet, like the kind business cards are
sometimes stuck to - they're flexible to conform to the curvature...I'll bet
you could cut it on a mat cutter (if you had access to one, anyway) with a
bevel.
I had a mega-size oatmeal container I used for a shipping container -
I really like the mat board strip idea - if you use a piece with the bevel
cut, you could glue it upside down (as a 'reverse bevel' would look on
framed artwork), so the bevel would be raised to 'catch' the film/paper.

Hi Ray,

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 disadvantag
Re: AW: [pinhole-discussion] loading paper into a cancameraThat's what I
thought until one day, having travelled a distance to take photos, instead
of images I found only dark round spots caused by the light hitting the
backside of the paper that had shifted enough to cover the hole...

Hi Lukasz
To hold the paper in place, I glue two pieces of thick cardboard of about 2
cm2 to the inside of the can. I place one near the bottom and one near the
top, both in line with the pinhole. The paper I use is cut to the length of
the inner circumference of the can less 3-5 mm. This keeps it
