Eric, To make your body cap pinhole closer to the film plane would make it get in the way of the mirror. You might need to find a range finder camera so that you can recess the hole. My image for WPPD 2001 (#95) was made with a Leica that I had made a 15mm recess adapter. I made this out of

A word to the prudent: I have purchased many packs of Polaroid film on e-bay and the result has been mixed. No matter how well sealed and preserved (in freezers and refrigerators) over more than half of the film is bad! The biggest problem is that the chemicals which process it, when pulled thro

Optical resolution is only one of many formal categories that one can have 'disagreement' over. We can prefer and promote the circular to the rectilinear, the completely digital free to the photoshop enhanced, the laser drilled to a #12 sewing needle or a tin can to a handsomely crafted commerc

Interesting thread. I don't seem to be able to get away from sharpness and detail. My main camera, handmade, taking 4 x 5 in a grafmatic holder, produces images that are pretty sharp and convey a lot of detail, yet the images are unmistakably pinhole. I made a Canon AE1 body cap pinhole for WPPD

Looking down the list a bit, you will find info from Omar, who has converted an integral polariod camera to pinhole. He said that he completely blacked out the ligt sensor on the camera to get the shuterto stay open as long as possible. Hope this helps, Dan -Original Message- From: pinhol

Gina, I haven't fiddled with the shutter at all. By using 600 film and large pinholes (somewhere in the f100 range) I'm still within the exposure range the camera was built for. Smaller pinholes might also work but probably only in bright light. Howard gina wrote: > > what do you do with the s
