Default messing around with a pinhole

I've been messing around and created a pinhole camera from scratch for my 12x9 dark slide, out of foam board and black duct tape, not pretty, but I'm hopeful it will work OK, hoping to give it a test run later today.

Not overly hopeful as I don't know the size of the pinhole, so have no idea of exposure times, going to start on the assumption of f224 (0.3mm hole and 67mm focal length as that's what I built it around) and see what happens

If this proves successful, might like to try build one out of MDF for a "prettier" camera and maybe for a 5x4 DDS so that I can use positive paper in it.

Can anyone tell me if all the 5x4 DDS's are the same size ? and can anyone tell me the external sizes of them ? Just so I can tinker about on paper before I go ahead and buy one.

Being really cheeky, anyone got a set of plans for a 5x4 pinhole ?

As usual, any advice, observations, tips and tricks welcome.

Ian

P.S will buy a professionally made "hole" if the project goes ahead
