In my opinion, simple lenses like meniscus or old Soft Focus lenses are able to describe the light himself. Pinhole photography seems to describe the time. The diffraction (disturbing the straight way of photons) from the tiny "aperture" hole then adds an extra bonus. These wonderful tools, other than clinical sharp lenses, are really artistic ones.

Dear Reginald,
Thanks for your wonderful phrase about describing the time. I love photographing with my beautiful ZeroImage 6x9cm and hope to once build my own simple large camera for contact printing paper negatives of 24x30cm. Frank |

Ever since I was given a Zero pinhole multiformat I have enjoyed using it and the photographs it makes. I have found that the simplisty has allowed me to concentrat on composition without all the fuss you get with a lensed camera ultematly leading to better pictures with the mechincal marvel I usally use

As expected, the lens is a little soft around the edges but still has a good overall sharpness. As the film is a mixed bag of exposures, I use stand development with these cameras, which stop some of the exposures from being heavily dense, making them easier to print. Terry S |

I also like the idea of stand development but with all things there is to much to try and not enough time to get round to it all

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185406319...0AAOSw4VViVIJu If I can find a print I'll post it, but if not, I'll try to remember to post one of the prints made from the fresh film I want to do. I was only looking the camera up on ebay again recently, as I misplaced the camera and thought that I would have to buy a new one and was surprised to see that it is still available, but at much higher costs. I think I only paid about £12 or so for mine brand new, but now it seems most of the ones I can find are in the US and start at about £50+ delivered, quite a difference! It's probably become more popular with the hipster / Lomo crowds: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...5&LH_PrefLoc=2 Edit: Just found one from Germany for about £43.00 delivered, but it only comes in 'Pastel Pink' : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275109277...8AAOSweT5h3-CB. And just looking at the eBay ones for sale, I'm now thinking that mine's a 22mm lens and not an 18mm, so still pretty wide! Terry S |
