Default who has pinhole camera.

Welcome to this new section and thank you to Dave and the moderators for allowing it.

Yes I have a pinhole camera it is a Zero 6x9 multi format camera. I'm still getting used to it eventhough I have had it for quite sometime. I find it so relaxing I forget to wind the film on

I have never had or used a pinhole camera and at the moment I have no interest in doing so, BUT I would like to hear about other people using pinhole cameras , and maybe I will have a go. so good luck with your new thread and looking forward to reading and seeing the results .
if you forget to wind on what about a motor drive

I have an 8x10 pinhole camera, made from corrugated cardboard. The instructions, and a set of three brass lenses, came from the States.
And recently a Holga WPC has found its way into the collection.

I own a Zero 2000 (6x6) pinhole camera and I must admit I need to use it more. Hopefully the new pinhole gallery will inspire me to do so

I'm still to put my Skink pinhole pancake to the test. I bought the kit which includes both the zone and sieve plates.

It's already in a Copal "0" shutter and on a linhof panel ready to be taken for a spin.

I have a 10x8, a 6x6 and a polaroid and am working on a 6x9 from an old ensign ranger. Just need to use them more rather than making new ones!

Whilst I don't use them very often, I have two. Both old school consumer compact cameras with the lenses removed! They were both free, so I had nothing to lose.
My favourite is a 'panoramic' . .you know that heavily cropped 35mm format that some cameras came with in the 1990's. It has a wheel advance and it works great. Pinhole plate was a piece of soft drink's can (must have been Irn Bru ) and the hole was made with a pin. Extreme stinginess is the mother of invention!

Like Phil I am working on an old broken camera I was given, a Zeiss Nettar that is fitted with a 0.3 mm pinhole I was also given. I am looking at making a pinhole for my Wista as well.

I have a Zero 6 x 9, which I must get around to using more often, and I've just built an 8 x 10 from stiff card, picture frame moulding, staples and a roll of gaffer tape. When the weather improves and the winds die down I give this a go as well.
