I ordered a wooden pinhole camera from Zero Image (http://www.zeroimage.com) and I've got a tripod ready for it, because the exposure is loooong.

Now, with 35mm RF I use 'Sunny f16' exposure. How about this pinhole camera? 'Sunny 2 secs.' do you think? Slightly overcast 4 secs, Overcast 8 secs? Indoors 10 mins? Night time 30 mins? All on 100ISO Reala.

Isn't there an exposure calculation dial on the back?

From the website it seems there may be an exposure guide on the back.

I guess I need to wait until next Tuesday or Wednesday to get the camera and find out.

Thank you for those links.

I'm looking forward to long exposures and blurred subjects.

Hmm. I've been fancying one of them for ages. Let us know how it turns out.

Jon, with neg film you'll be safer at 4sec than 2sec. BTW, you can get some freaky flare with the sun in the frame...
