Matchbox Pinehole

[taylan]

I made a matchbox pinhole and took some photos. I just managed to print some photos.







For more details about print you can click this link.

I am very happy for the first results. I need a panoramic camera and I am planning to make a panoramic pinhole rather than buy a Xpan

I dig it! How did you manage to get a square hole?

I didn't make a square hole. Just cut a square for film frame masking. You can find a detailed instruction guide at this link:

Really cool results! What type of film did you use?

[Keith]

That's great ... I think I may have to have a go at this.

Thanks for posting the link to the instructions.


Do they have instructions for the monochrome version?

[Pherdinand]

you just have to use a monochrome pinhole.
Or a filter.

I just used BW film.
I have some ruined BW film with scratches at home. I bought Agfa APX400 as bulk film and my bulk loader scratched all of rolls. I haven't used them and they are sitting in my cabinet. When I built the pinhole, I used these scratched film. In short, It is just a BW film

I enjoyed reading the links..I remember making such a "camera" when I was a kid using cut roll film...the results were "interesting".
Thanks for bringing back the memory...the guys at Jena and Gorlitz must have wondered why they bothered with glass..

Taylan, will you start mass producing it?

I am not Oskar Barnack.
If you want one for you, I can arrange something.

Awesome, can we see some camera porn of the actual camera please?

Brilliant!


Now you'll have to make a second one! ;-)
